hi, iirc, in C if I store somwhere a pointer to a "stack" value (e.g.: call a function with an auto variable, return its pointer) i know i'm going to mess things, since that piece of data will be most probably overwritten by subsequent calls.
if I do the same in Perl (with a hard ref), do I have any guarantee that the same behavior (implicit aliasing) does - or does not (every new scalar is guaranteed to not alias the old non existant value) - apply? thank you in advance gst -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
