Re^4: A short whishlist of Perl5 improvements leaping to Perl7

Your example is redundant, cause the obvious rule is that any assignment in a new scope equals a declaration.

That's ludicrous. It would prevent this common construct:

my $x;
if (f()) {
   ...
   $x = ...;
} else {
   ...
   $x = ...;
}

And this one:

my $found;
for (...) {
   if (...) {
      $found = ...
   }
}

And this one:

my @a;
while (...)
   ...
   push @a, ...;
}

I don't think any program I've ever written would work!

That's why I elaborated two models.

So? The first part is still wrong.

Which part is wrong and what did the OP in your opinion propose exactly?
