Tim -- Thanks for your rejoinder.
Mostly, I do use 'aliased' variables within nested
loops. However, this question came up in my mind
serendipitiously when I was working on one such
instance, without aliasing.
I just wanted to run by the Perl cognoscenti to make
sure that the answer to my question was in the
negative. The question was purely academic in its
interest (that is why, I had wantonly mentioned
"without using aliasing"). Thanks, once again!!!
Cheers,
Rex
