ObPedantic: You can get at higher scoped lexicals with the 'y' command if
you have the PadWalker module installed:
% perl -d
{
my $upper = 42;
foo();
}
sub foo {
print "Stop here\n";
}
^D
main::(-:2): my $upper = 42;
DB<1> c 7
main::foo(-:7): print "Stop here";
DB<2> x $upper
0 undef
DB<3> y 1 upper
$upper = 42
DB<4> h y
y [n [Vars]] List lexicals in higher scope <n>. Vars same as V.
That's why I added it :-)
