[Boston.pm] "next unless my"

[Richard Morse]

Hi!  I'm writing a program, and I've reached a point where it makes (I 
think) to combine two lines into one.  The two original lines are 
something like:
	my $var = $hash{$val};
	next unless (defined($var));

I'm thinking that it might make more sense (given the flow of the 
program at this point which is a large variety of 'next unless' 
statements) to write:
	next unless my $val = $hash{$val};

However, I recall at a previous Boston.pm meeting there being a 
discussion about issues with 'my' in conditional clauses.  I don't, 
however, remember the details.  Is this usage of 'my' the one that 
causes the problem?

Thanks,
Ricky Morse
