my $_; is intended as a replacement for the not-ideal local $_; or local *_;.
perl591delta:
=head2 Lexical $_
The default variable $_ can now be lexicalized, by declaring it like
any other lexical variable, with a simple
my $_;
The operations that default on $_ will use the lexically-scoped
version of $_ when it exists, instead of the global $_.
In a map or a grep block, if $_ was previously my'ed, then the
$_ inside the block is lexical as well (and scoped to the block).
In a scope where $_ has been lexicalized, you can still have access to
the global version of $_ by using $::_, or, more simply, by
overriding the lexical declaration with our $_.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
