The OP points out that there's no real difference between `for $lex (...)` and `for my $lex (...)`. The "my" is just useless noise. As such, the declaration could be implicit. It's reasonable, but it's not true because foreach loops don't just work with lexicals.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The foreach loop always works with an alias. IMHO the variable is never connected to anything outside the for loop so the values never "leak" out of the loop. If I am mistaken, please give an example when that variable is connected to something else as well.	[reply]
