in reply to Why or why not? - local undef $/

UPDATE: thanks to tilly for showing me something I never thought about: (/duck)

You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends' noses

Seriously, what i mean by that is there is no reason to say { local undef $/ }, all you need is { local $/ }, although japhy may know something about Perl 6 that I don't . . .
