each(X) is almost always a mistake when X is built fresh each time each(X) is invoked -- it might make sense when we know that X will be either a hashref or an arrayref but not which and we want the first elt if its an array or some random pair when it's a hashref; that's highly contrived and would not be clear at all. So reference-counting the argument could be good grounds for the warning, unless that produce a lot of false warnings without reference-counting the stack. Automatic dereferencing is not the issue here, it's the failure of the object of the each method to persist between invocations.Thread Previous | Thread Next
