why can't I put that variable declaration in the push function? like this:
push my @numbers, split while <>;
The original code could be written as:
my @numbers; while ( <> ) { push @numbers, split; }
Is that really identical to the original code as regards scoping?
If you declare @numbers inside the while loop it will only be seen inside the loop.
use warnings; push my @numbers, split while <>; my @numbers = (1,2,3);
generates the warning: ""my" variable @numbers masks earlier declaration in same scope at ...".
