in reply to Re: Re: scalar my vs list my
in thread my $var = ''; vs. use constant VAR => '';

At the risk of straying further, its ok to do this isn't it: 
my ($filename, $filemode, $opmode, $filetype) = 
    ("/path/file", "immolate", "seek", "image/gif");

Ignore me: I really should get into the habbit of reading the last paragraph of peoples' posts.

    What about this unruly specimen: 
       (my ($filename, my ($filemode, my ($opmode, my $filetype))))
   = "/path/file",    "immolate",      "seek",  "image/gif";

    The one thing that has bugged me about my() was the way it used to cling to the real block, and not the virtual block. As in: 
        for (my $n = 0; $n < 100; $n++)
    {
        # ... (Stuff)
    }

    # ... (More Stuff)

    for (my $n = 0; $n < 100; $n++)
    {
        # ... (Stuff)
    }

    IIRC, there used to be a condition that generated an error for the second declaration. This seems to have been fixed, thankfully.
