in reply to A short whishlist of Perl5 improvements leaping to Perl7

If you want to mimic Pythons behavior of auto-declaration, you'd also need to introduce something like the command nonlocal to mark closed over variables.

Py3 had to introduce it, and I find it ugly.

    Furthermore - and I think this is the toughest part - you'd need to clearly define the role of my under automine

    I think I'm the one who coined the word automine and believe me it's far from trivial.
