I want to use "$name" in another loop just after this one, but when I do, I get
"Global symbol $name requires explicit package".
Could someone please point me in the right direction?
Certainly. The variable used in a foreach loop is independent of
anything outside the loop. Even if it's declared before the loop, it's
value is unavailable inside the loop:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $name = 'forgotten';
for $name ( qw( fred barney wilma )){
print "\$name is $name\n";
}
print "\$name is $name\n";
__END__
Outside the loop, it becomes just another variable.
