One point to clarify is that the reason it bugs me, apart from wanting vars to only live within the scope where they are needed, is that I might re-use the name $vrx later, with possible side-effects.
If you use warnings, you'll get a warning if you redefine a new my $vrx in the same scope as the first. If it's not in the same scope, then it'll be a different $vrx, so there should be little to no chance of unintended side-effects.
Of course, the better way to deal with it would be to use a more meaningful/distinctive name so that it's unlikely that you'll have cause to re-use the name...

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).
