You don't have to create a separate sub. Alternatives:

my $sub = sub { my ($str) = @_; sub { $str } }->($str);

my $sub = sub { my $str = $str; sub { $str } }->();
[download]

my $sub = do { my $str = $str; sub { $str } };
[download]

my $str_copy = $str;
my $sub = sub { $str_copy };
[download]

In practice, it's usually a non-issue since you either have a variable that doesn't change to begin with

for my $str (...) {
   ... sub { ... $str ... } ...
}

or you want to factor out the code to a sub anyway.

sub make_list_iterator { 
   my @list = @_;
   return sub {
      return @list ? shift(@list) : ();
   };
}

my $iter = make_list_iterator(@list);

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
