You are correct Fastolfe, the re-allocation happens in the loop. However, this is the behavior that is GOOD. The cost of the allocation is a great deal less than this
my $x='ok'; # scads of code my $x=300; while ($x--) { do_something_with($x); } # scads of code... print "$final" if ($x eq 'ok'); #kaboom

In the end, when you do a "-w" and it complains that '$x won't stay shared' or something at the second my, your lesser perl wizard is likely to take the "my" off since the variable is already declared. Ouch.

In the end, you suffer the cost of extra work on the backside to protect yourself from the future.

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.
