in thread Why should I use perl 5.10?
I think the OP means "state variables" as that's what they are called in Perl 6. The declarator is the word state too.
(Yes, other languages use the keyword static, but this is Perl!)sub foo { state $x = 0; # $x will retain it's state through # successive invocations of foo() # ... }
