It is usually best to declare variables in the smallest scope possible
so:
while (more work to do)
{
my @array = split $string;
# do work on array
}
Doesn't that try to re-localize (?) the @array variable every time
through the loop? i.e. doesn't it re-run the my() function every time
through the loop? For some reason I thought that was a no-no.
my() happens when the code is compiled so it is *not* re-run every time
through the loop. The assignment happens when the code is run so it is
re-run every time.
