Greetings,
Being new to perl can someone explain why my is in form of variables
and what is the purpose?
'my' is used to declare a variable and limit its scope. If you `use strict;`
(and you should) you must declare all unqualified variables.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $a = 'a';
{
my $a = 'b';
print "$a\n";
}
print "$a\n";
__END__
See:
perldoc -f my
perldoc -f our
perldoc -f local
perldoc vars
