Static variable problem

Dave Saville

Apologies if this appears twice but I have not seen it and my sent
posts folder does not have a copy - but I would swear I hit send :)


Please can someone explain why the following throws an error?

[T:\tmp]cat try.pl
use strict;
use warnings;

foo("Hello World");
exit;
{
my $bar = 1;

sub foo
{
my $a = shift;
print "$bar $a\n"; <== line 12
return;
}
}

[T:\tmp]try.pl
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at try.pl
line 12.
Hello World

$bar is private to foo - yes? So you can't initialize it?
