Dear ALL,

I was debug some old dirty script of mine (which without strict nor warnings ^_^), and faced this issue:

As you can see in case(1), variable $me had been declared more than once, and to output of this script is: [] 

#----------[ CASE(1) ]----------#
my $v_place = 'home';
my $me = 'moving';
my $me = 'at home' if($v_place =~ m/^home/);
my $me = 'at work' if($v_place =~ m/^work/);

print "[$me]";
__END__
output:
[]

#-------------------------------#

But after correct the declaration problem as in case(2), we got the correct output: [at home]. 

#----------[ CASE(2) ]----------#
my $v_place = 'home';
my $me = 'moving';
$me = 'at home' if($v_place =~ m/^home/);
$me = 'at work' if($v_place =~ m/^work/);

print "[$me]";
__END__
output:
[at home]
#-------------------------------#

Now,can any monk explain me just what happen here?
