Well, it seems that the mistake I've made a while ago, explaining the "closure" effect in the guide has been propagated to many people on the list. I've fixed it since then, but probably a few noticed this in the CHANGES log. There is no 'closure' effect caused by Registry scripts!!! This is called the 'nested sub' effect. Please take a moment to reread the corrected writeup: http://perl.apache.org/guide/perl.html#my_Scoped_Variable_in_Nested_S P.S. of course you can create a closure in your code, but in general case of registry "problems" it's not a closure. I apologize for creating a confusion. This is what happens when there is no proof reading of such a big document. I wish more people wouldn't take things for granted and send me corrections. I know there are bugs and omissions in the guide, because I find them myself from time to time, and Ged did an enourmous work cleaning the whole thing up for all of us. (I know the new release is due, will do that very soon now :) If you wander who told me about the 'closure' mistake, it's quite interesting. I've found it when I've received my tutorial evaluation from O'Reilly conference (half a year after I taught the tutorial). Among comments about my German accent :) there was one that included a long list of things that should be corrected. I wish there were more attendant like this guy. Talking about conferences... I hope to see you in Orlando in March at ApacheCon (apachecon.com)... there will be more mod_perl classes :) Enjoy. _______________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stason.org/stas Perl,CGI,Apache,Linux,Web,Java,PC http://www.stason.org/stas/TULARC perl.apache.org modperl.sourcegarden.org perlmonth.com perl.org single o-> + single o-+ = singlesheaven http://www.singlesheaven.com
