That would probably work, but it would ONLY deal with the issue for
$_TD. In your function $event will still hit this problem.
Well, fixing $_TD would pretty much fix all the problems I've been having.
As far as "$event", that is in my control and easily fixed by making it
"our" as well. Some explicit warnings and best practices in the docs would
be nice.
Tom, can we possibly get that one-word patch into 8.1? It would go a long
way towards making plperl more intuitive (and useful), and probably head
off some future "bug" reports.
"our" only came in with Perl 5.6 ... I don't recall if we have declared
support for earlier versions than that dead yet, although David Fetter
and Joshua Drake have urged us to.
I will add a note somewhere in the docs in the next few days advising
against using named subroutines that refer to lexical variables from the
enclosing scope.
