Re: When is $_ local and when is it not?

Yes, I think it should work that way. Then you can write code like:

    sub next_foo {
        while (<>) {
            return $. if /^FOO:/
        }
    }
 
    while (next_foo) {
        do_something # with $_
    }

Some people won't like this style. That's fine, you don't have to. Other will like it, and Perl let's you.
