Not quite core-only, it needs the Devel::LexAlias XS module.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Devel::LexAlias qw(lexalias);
lexalias(
\&func, '$foo', { foo => undef }
);
func();
func();
sub func {
for my $foo ( 0 ) { print "/dir/$foo\n" }
}
Bisecting shows it was fixed in the Perl upstream development branches
(both blead and maint-5.10) with change 33080:
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/09edbca0f5c7caf9dd4acef80d8e6275e5a95ea1
Backporting this to 5.10.0 doesn't seem trivial.
