The "my $i" outside the loop does not declare a lexical variable that is used as the the loop variable in the way you think it does. Perl aliases the loop variable to each element in the for list as they are iterated over so the closure is not over $i, but over the aliased list elements. Consider:
use strict;
use warnings;
my @flist;
my @array = 0 .. 3;
for my $elt (@array) {
push @flist, sub {return $elt;};
}
print $_->(), "\n" for @flist;
@array[0 .. 3] = 10 .. 13;
print $_->(), "\n" for @flist;
Prints:
0
1
2
3
10
11
12
13
Perl reduces RSI - it saves typing

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).
