The my keywordEdit

The my keyword is used before a variable declaration and makes the variable lexically in this block, file, or eval. If the user wants that more than one variable is declared in this way, parenthesis are required.

  my VARIABLE_LIST
  my TYPE VARIABLE_LIST
  my VARIABLE_LIST : ATTRIBUTES
  my TYPE VARIABLE_LIST : ATTRIBUTES

ExamplesEdit

  my ( undef, $min, $hour ) = localtime;
  []
  my $dollars = 123;
