[Wellington-pm] How to cure "variable will not stay shared?

[Lesley Longhurst]

Hi mongers,

So, I'm looking at some nasty legacy code left behind by Mordac. I added 
"use warnings; use diagnostics" and got a pile of these warnings.  From 
what I've read so far, it seems that they are caused by a subroutine 
being defined inside a subroutine. The diagnostics text suggests making 
the inner subroutine anonymous, but I don't think that's going to work 
because it's called by name many times.

Am I likely to make matters worse if I just take the inner sub and move 
it outside the outer sub? Most of the variables are defined without "my" 
and there is no other sub with the same name.
