The other big problem with our() is that it is
advertised as a replacement for use vars:
NOTE: The functionality provided by this pragma has been
superseded by our declarations, available in Perl v5.6.0
or later. See the our entry in the perlfunc manpage.
But there are several things that vars does that
our() doesn't do. The benefit, as you point out, is a very
limited gain of functionality, and the cost is that there is yet one more
subtly different feature complicating Perl's byzantine
scoping and namespace rules.

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).
