in reply to Re^3: Scope and references
in thread Scope and references

So here was my misconception:
I thought that the scope of a for loop was 
foreach (@a) { |<==From HERE to HERE==>| }
and that you just bounced aroud INSIDE OF the brackets. But I guess every time you evaluated the control statement, you leave the brackets and you lose scope and re-enter it. I did read Coping with Scoping, and that deals with this exact situation.
{}think; #Think outside of the brackets

    Hello {}think 
    $ perl -e " {}think; #Think outside of the brackets  "
Bareword found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "}think"
        (Missing operator before think?)
syntax error at -e line 1, near "}think"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
