It took me ages to understand why and how to use the with keyword in python, until I realized it was an at attempt at recreating block-scoped variables.
I think I already had a similar discussion where LanX pointed out that python variables are lexically scoped as well, but the scope they are lexically bound to is the function, not the block. (perl decided to do block-scoped variables, but you could also imagine limitting the scope to a single expression. For example in push @out, {A => $one, b => $two} while my ($one, undef, $two) = some_function())

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
