in reply to Why to wrap Perl classes inside a Perl script into blocks
Howdy!
You're on the right track. However, lexical variables' scope is delimited by the blocks. package does not make a new scope.
Consider:
{ package Foo; my $foo; } { package Bar; my $foo; # new $foo not to be confused with one above }
Versus:
package Foo; my $foo; package Bar; my $foo; # my declaration masks previous one
