The answers are:
  • Yes
  • Yes
  • Just because.... ;-)
In a few cases, $_ is implicitely localized: in the block/expression of map and grep and in the block of a foreach that doesn't have its own iterator mentioned. (If the iterator is mentioned, with no my preceeding it, the iterator is localized too). This is all documented where foreach, map and grep are documented: perlsyn and perlfunc.

There is a difference between foreach and while because they are two totally different things. foreach always assigns to a variable when looping over a list, while while normally doesn't. It's just that while (<>) is an exception and only when there's a single diamond operator there's an implicite assignment to $_.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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.
