( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I read Defining a sub within a sub: OK? with interest, but consider the following

sub foo { my @arra = ('a' .. 'z'); my @arrb; for ( 0 .. ( $#arra - 1) ) { bar($_); } bar($#arra); sub bar { my ($i) = @_; push @arrb, $arra[$i]; } return \@arrb; }

The above works, but what all sentiments and principles am I violating here? (besides, of course, Blond highlights with a hint of purple are just "so 2007

Essentially, bar() will never be called from outside foo(), and makes sense only within the context of foo(). In case I shouldn't be doing the above, then how should I rewrite it?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
