I personally believe that localizing @ARGV only without the rest would be of little to no utility at all, and intuitively it should do what I thought. Well, at least Juerd thought so, too. (Thanks to BrowserUk, who let me know.) Further, people can start to play with (most common) predefined variables and local early, but learn about typeglobs only much later. Actually I think that $Larry now believes they were not a nice idea at all, and that's why they are going away in Perl 6; more precisely here's what he said:

Nope, typeglobs are dead, dead, dead, dead, and dead, not necessariy in that order.
