what do u mean by current
block?
A block is a set of statements that are contained
between a pair of braces. Blocks can be associated with
subroutines, loops, conditionals and a number of other Perl
constructs. There is also an implicit block around all of
the code in a file.
our (like my) is lexically
scoped, this means that its effects are only felt until
the end of the innermost enclosing block.
I understand "my" is used for local
variable. so is "our" a global
variable??
Pretty much. It exposes package variables within a
given block. The differences between package and lexical
variables and the subtle differences between my,
local and our can get a little complex.
I recommend you read the section on "Scoped Variable
Declarations" that starts on p130 of the 3rd edition of
the Camel.
