I've always taken this to mean they are "local" scoped to a block just as if you has said local($1), apparently this is not the case. Or at least not the case on my build of Perl v5.6.1
Yes, it's not "local", for local also localizes a variable for one loop iteration. May be this behaviuor is not perfectly documented, but in fact I've never had any problems with that so far. You should not work with these variables anyway, but use your own for better control.
our $x = 0;
foreach(@values){
local $x;
/m(\w+)\.(\d+)/ and my ($f,$s) = ($1,$2);
print "-- $_: $1;$s; ",$x++,"\n"
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
