I expected 3rd way to work just like the others, by creating a my variable in main.

If you use Devel::Symdump, you'll see that my variables, aren't actually in the main package, they are local to the block.. The list outputted by the following code, shows all scalar symbols in the main package.

#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;

use Devel::Symdump;
my $obj = Devel::Symdump->new('main');

my $var1 = 'var1';
our $var2 = 'var2';

foreach($obj->scalars){
    print "$_\n";
}

__OUTPUT__
...Builtin Vars...
main::var2
...More Builtin Vars...

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
