in reply to Re^3: if(my) scope
in thread if(my) scope

IMO the $h is visible entirely to the outer {} rather than 'if' block

No, it is not, a variable "lives" in the most inner block of code where it has been declared. If it is declared in an "if" condition or in a loop initialization, it is accessible only inside the "if" or loop block.
