If local() doesn't work that way, why does this example localize every time through the block?

When in doubt, parse it out. ;) 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use vars qw ($PackageVar);

use B::Deparse;
my $deparse = B::Deparse->new("-p", "-sC");
my $body = $deparse->coderef2text(\&ltest);
print $body;

##########################
sub ltest { 
    $PackageVar = 0;
    for(1..10){
        local $PackageVar = 0;
        print ++$PackageVar,"\n";
    }

}

__END__
# Says B:Deparse
{
    ($PackageVar = 0);
    foreach $_ (1 .. 10) {
        (local $PackageVar = 0);
        print((++$PackageVar), "\n");
    }
}
