The same goes for

        my($x, $y, @t);

Now, you don't write

        my(x, y, t);

do you? And yet, up to and including this very statement, the variables
are not in scope yet.

        $\ ="\n";
        $x = 10;
        {
            my $x = 2 * $x;
            print $x;
        }
        print $x;
