This example does not declare variables in the beginning of the script: that is, these variables are only visible inside the scope of the sub CheckAllPairs. This is called "lexical" scoping, and extends from a "my" declaration to the end of the scope of the my. Perl also has global variables, which you usually use the "our" declarator to introduce, but as a rule of thumb lexicals are better for most purposes.

Using strict is almost always a good idea, yes. Having so many variables like in that example looks like a lot, but maybe it's warranted by what the code is doing. If you want to declare several lexicals all at once rather than on separate lines, you can do it the following way, but it's mostly a stylistic thing:

my ($subj_num, $region, $region1, $region2, $time); # put as many as y +ou like here my ($abs_time, $max_peak_time) = (50, 2050) # you can initiali +ze multiple vars like this.

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
