Re^3: Scoping question

I think your interpretation of duff's example is different than intended. Consider:

use strict;
use warnings;

my $item = "a";

if(1){
   my $item = $item;
}

This compiles fine with no errors...

Note that you don't need to have `if (1)`. A block is fine all by itself, and does enforce a new scope. A bare block is a loop construct though while an `if` block isn't, which is important to remember when you use e.g. `last`. `ihb` See perltoc if you don't know which perldoc to read! Read argumentation in its context!	[reply] [d/l] [select]
