Update: I added an example for an if() conditional,
which was the original poster's actual intent.
I think that his implication was just a clarification of a subtlety that escapes many Perl novices. The point is that you don't have to use the my() declaration between curly braces to define its scope within a block of code. You can use my() within the condition of an if/else block: And the variable $name has the scope of that conditional. You can also use the my() declaration in a loop control statement: And the variable's scope is that of the loop. It was certainly a revelation for me, once upon a time... buckaduck In reply to Re: Re: Re: Re: I need a simple explantion of the difference between my() and local()
