The variable will remain shared between those subs over successive executions, but it will not be reinitialised to "something" -- at least not visibly to the subs: On the first invocation, $private_var is initialised and the two subroutines are created. Internally, they refer to the _instance_ of $private_var. The next time the script is run by mod_perl, $private_var gets initialised again, but the subs are persistent and still refer to the old instance. _Their_ copy of the variable will still be shared between them, but it will not be reset to "something". So it should work, but I would avoid such a construction if possible. Apache::Registry wraps the whole script in another function, which is called on each request, so your piece of code really looks somewhat like this: #!/usr/bin/perl sub handler { # do something { my $a = 'A'; sub sub_a { $a .= 'B' } sub sub_b { print $a."\n" } } sub_a(); sub_b(); } for(1..10) { handler() } Regards, Dennis - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
