This is one of Perl's stranger messages, but it is a common one. I assume one of the following is true
- You are requireing this code from within the body of a subroutine in your main code
- You are running it with mod_perl under Apache::Registry
The result is that you are declaring a nested subroutine within another one, and the inner sub accesses a lexical variable declared in the outer one. This is a bad thing, because Perl will not be able to figure out which "instance" of that lexical variable the inner sub should be working with when you call it. Solutions to this problem are explained here.

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).
