Effectively, the loop variable has no relationship with any pre-existing variable with the same name:
Same goes for local, fyi.
>perl -E"say 0+\$x; local $x; say 0+\$x;"

I've often wished (and occasionally argued in favour of), that for didn't localise pre-existing, lexical loop variables.
It would be useful and intuitive. It would drastically change the behaviour of the following, though
for $lex (...) {
push @f, sub { ... $lex ... };
}
As it is now, I never use a pre-existing var.

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).
