$x = "x";
$y = "y";
sub uc_call {
my $x = uc $x;
local $y = uc $y;
shift->();
}
my $code = sub { print "$x $y\n" };
uc_call($code);
</code>
<p>The above prints lower-case "x" but upper-case "Y", which illustrates that even without strictures, there's a difference between <c>local</c> and <c>my</c>.</p>
