The entire statement ist compiled at a time; at this time, $d is undeclared. The my() declaration only takes effect for the next statement. > for (my $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) works Because it isn't really a for loop. $ perl -MO=Deparse,-x7 -e'for(my $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) { }' my $i = 0; while ($i < 10) { (); } continue { ++$i } -e syntax OK That's why. -- Regards, Aristotle
