When using multiple initializations in a for loop, I found that scoping didn't work as I expected it would. For example, in this fake snippet 
use strict;
### this code contains an error
for (my $i=1,
     my $j = $i + 100;
     $i<50;
     $i++, $j++) {
    print "i=$i j=$j hello!\n";
}

the line 
     my $j = $i + 100;

generates an error because $i doesn't exist yet. Not a big deal, and trivial to work-around, but can someone explain why scoping works this way here? nop
