camelia ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling <tmp>
Variable '$a' is not declared. Perhaps you forgot a 'sub' if this was
intended to be part of a signature?

deoac Why the difference in the 3rd output?
rf Have you read the let documentation? 00:31
Refers to a variable in an outer scope whose value will be restored if the block exits unsuccessfully, implying that the block returned a defined object.
dd returns Nil so it restores

deoac Ah, I didn't realize dd() returned a value implying the block failed.  Thank you. 00:41
rf Yeah it returns Nil, whereas say returns the gist 00:42
