> So loop "localisation" is different to the "localisation" done by local?

yes and no, since (unfortunately) you can't use local with lexicals!

But foreach tries to mimic this behaviour (a tribute to DWIM)

As you can see localization is as predicted with package vars, but seems to rebind the var to the new pad for lexical vars.

lanx@ubuntu:~$ perl
our $i;
for $i (1..9) {
  tst();
}
sub tst {
  print $i;
}

lanx@ubuntu:~$ perl
my $i=42;
for $i (1..9) {
  tst();
}
sub tst {
  print $i;
}

we already had similar discussions.
