in thread redeclaring variables with 'my'

Tell him it is NOT redeclaring, it is only allocated
once, at the 2..nth time in the while the 1st declared
variable is used...

It is just a local, like this:
... { my $var=<FILE>; while ($Var) { ... ... $var=<FILE>; }; } # $Var out of scope ...

Try that on him ;))
