Re: The memory for variables is not allocated for DB::DB reentrance

Seems I found workaround:

package DB;

use strict;
use warnings;

our $level =  0;

sub test {
	my $x =  0;
	$x += $level;
	print ">LEVEL: $level; VALUE: $x", \$x,"\n";
	local $level =  $level +1;
	$^D |=  (1<<30)   if $level < 3;
	main::t0();
	print "<LEVEL: $level; VALUE: $x", \$x,"\n";
	return;
}

sub DB {
	test();
}

1;


$ perl -I. -d:DB t3.pl
>LEVEL: 0; VALUE: 0SCALAR(0xd05008)
>LEVEL: 1; VALUE: 1SCALAR(0xcfb6c8)
>LEVEL: 2; VALUE: 2SCALAR(0xd29ea8)
<LEVEL: 3; VALUE: 2SCALAR(0xd29ea8)
<LEVEL: 2; VALUE: 1SCALAR(0xcfb6c8)
<LEVEL: 1; VALUE: 0SCALAR(0xd05008)
