Re^2: Two simple code style advice questions (tye)

[choroba]

Your "funny" example does not work:

# perl -MData::Dumper -e 'my @tests = 1 .. 10; @{ \my %ntests }{ @test
+s } = (0) x @tests; print Dumper \%ntests;' 
$VAR1 = {};

The problem is the my.

[tye]

Well, I'd say the problem is that @{ } is defined syntactically as containing a full-fledged block (and thus it imposes its own lexical scope).

@$_{@tests} = (0)x@tests  for \my %ntests;
