Quoth perlsyn:
NOTE: The behaviour of a "my" statement modified with a statement
modifier conditional or
loop construct (e.g. "my $x if ...") is undefined. The value of the
"my" variable may be
"undef", any previously assigned value, or possibly anything else.
Don't rely on it.
Future versions of perl might do something different from the version
of perl you try it
out on. Here be dragons.
