No, the reference is not lost, so what Angus wrote about closures was
exactly right.
You should simply pass in the @fields as parameter to your sub or
p to see for sure...

The problem arises with subroutines using variables declared at the same
level as the sub, e.g:
[-
my @fields = qw(a b);
print OUT "@fields";
sub testingit{
print OUT "@fields";
}
-]
The first print gives the correct value ("a,b")
The second print gives an incorrect answer occasionall
