Oops missed that - I like that for solving this particular problem.  It does 
even work in Perl5:

perl -MData::Dumper -e '%h=qw(a 1 b 2); {local @h{qw(a b)}=("one","two"); 
print Dumper \%h} print Dumper \%h'
$VAR1 = {
          'a' => 'one',
          'b' => 'two'
        };
$VAR1 = {
          'a' => '1',
          'b' => '2'
        };

I had never thought to do a hash slice in a local.  That is great!!!

Thank you very much!  Wish I'd know about that three years ago.

But, it still doesn't answer the original question about scoping in the 
looping statement modifiers.
