Neither a deref or a sub call are named variable. And anything that starts with @ or % is considered a named variable (at least when prototypes and pre-5.14 C<each> are concerned), so yes, there is a named variable in the last example I gave. As a Father C pointed out, the correct check relates to TEMP and REFCNT, not "named". - EricThread Previous | Thread Next
