Taking another approach, depending on the requirements of your algorithm you might just confine your
@flowers in blocks using
my like so:
use strict;
my @flowers;
{
my @flowers = qw(rose daisy buttercup);
# arrange your flowers here
}
print @flowers; # prints nothing as these flowers were never assigned
Mind you, from a readability point of view, re-use of variable names is not generally a good idea in my opinion, as it can be quite confusing to others unless your array is always used for the same purpose (e.g. as working space for some subroutine).
