Re^2: Duh. 'my' scope in if else blocks.

This won't work either, even though my $t is outside of the curlies (but inside the parens) now:

if ( my $t = shift ) { 
   $t =~ s/change_something/to_something_else/;
} 
print "$t\n";   # out of scope here

if behaves similar to for in this respect.

Somewhat surprisingly then, this does not work:

print $t if (my $t = shift);
