Yes. `my` takes a variable or a parenthesized list of variables. You would eventually have located that bug if you had at the top of your program `use strict; use warnings;` [download] `strict` would have complained about variables not being declared, and `warnings` would have warned you about using things like `$s = @var[1]`.
