Re^4: scalar my vs list my

[tadman]

What about this unruly specimen:

   (my ($filename, my ($filemode, my ($opmode, my $filetype))))
   = "/path/file",    "immolate",      "seek",  "image/gif";

The one thing that has bugged me about my() was the way it used to cling to the real block, and not the virtual block. As in:

    for (my $n = 0; $n < 100; $n++)
    {
        # ... (Stuff)
    }

    # ... (More Stuff)

    for (my $n = 0; $n < 100; $n++)
    {
        # ... (Stuff)
    }

IIRC, there used to be a condition that generated an error for the second declaration. This seems to have been fixed, thankfully.
