Can we access the variable "b" declared as my variable at the beginning of the code, inside the subroutine ? Or is it out of scope ? We can not access my $d, declared inside sub bar(). Likewise, can a my $b variable, which is declared outside the bar() and at the beginning of the code, be accessed inside sub bar() ?

Thanks
