Cool. To my (naiive i'm sure) eye this looks just like the behaviour of a brace-delimited
block in a chunk of mainline code, which is what I was hoping/expecting.
(I guess you are talking about lexicaly scoped vars) plus that any globals which in a normal script:
$foo = 5;
will end up in main:
$main::foo
will be nuked as well.
Some examples of good/bad/dangerous things to do in these <Perl></Perl> sections
would be very helpful though. I can imagine for instance that mucking around with
package declarations inside one could make life complicated.
It's more simple than that. don't use <Perl></Perl> sections for anything that you can do from real perl. <Perl></Perl> sections are there only for doing Apache configuration. Anything else, you are on your own. so any example that doesn't deal with Apache config is a bad example.
