Sure. For me naked blocks in C++ and similar languages are almost universally scope limiting blocks for process locking of various sorts. I tend to not use them in other contexts and that bleeds through to Perl. And again, for trivial code like this I wouldn't usually bother, but I was "belt and braces" checking the example code in an earlier iteration and forgot to remove the block.
