For a lot of reasons that I won't bore you with, I have to "do" a number of scripts in the same package, but protect them from stomping on each other. The logical flow is: 
    package my_package;
    for my $script (@scripts) {
        do $script;
        $vars{$script} = NameSpace::save('my_package');
        NameSpace::delete('my_package');
    }
    # additional processing here
    for my $script (@scripts) {
        NameSpace::restore('my_package', $vars{$script});
        # additional script-specific processing
    }

I don't see how you'd accomplish with local, but if you know of a way, I'm all ears.
