Synopsis
reset expr
Used at the top of a loop or in a continue
block at the end of a loop to
clear global variables or reset ??
searches so they work again.
expr
is a list of single characters
(hyphens are allowed for ranges). All scalar variables, arrays,
and hashes beginning with one of those letters are reset to their
pristine state. If expr
is omitted,
one-match searches (?
PATTERN
?
) are reset to match again. The
function resets variables or searches for the current package
only. It always returns 1
.
Lexical variables (created by my
) are not affected. Use of reset
is vaguely deprecated.
