in reply to typeglob & my | our

This Typeglob-mechanism for aliasing is restricted to package variables (our) only.

Lexical variables (my) have no builtin (general) aliasing mechanism.

UPDATE:

For the records, there is a hack (!) to alias lexical scalars by using one element for loops:

for my $alias ($orig) { ... }

another workaround would be to use tie.
