Re^3: Variable being clobbered by a seemingly unrelated while loop

[choroba]

Even lexical variables.

But,

my $x = 3;
local $x'

leads to

Can't localize lexical variable $x at 1.pl line 2.

Lexical variables can be localized - you just can't use the local keyword to do so.

Anonymous monk provides a good demonstration.

I guess tobyink means:

my $x='foo';
for $x ('bar') {
    print "$x\n";
}
print "$x\n";
__END__
bar
foo
