Maybe the example below will clear things up for you. I don't
understand why you could use anon subs, since they're not a lot of
difference between "sub foo {}" and "$foo = sub {}" except the latter
doesn't have the problem you're running into.

sub main
{
    my $test=shift;
    test();
    return $test;
    sub test {
       print "X=".$test."\n";
    }
}
main(1);
main(2);

Output:
X=1
X=1

Have a nice day,
