A local modifies the listed variables to be local to the enclosing block,
subroutine,
eval{}
or
do
. If more than one value is listed, the
list must be placed in parens. See Llocal()
"> for details.
But you really probably want to be using
my()
instead, because
local()
isn't
what most people think of as ``local''). See Lmy()
"> for details.
