Re: why need my in a foreach loop?

[JavaFan]

In the old days of perl5,

foreach my $var (LIST) { .. }

was a syntax error. You had to write:

my $var;
foreach $var (LIST) { .. }

or use a package variable, as pointed out earlier in this thread.

I remember the days that

foreach my $var (LIST) { .. }

was actually seen as progress...
