for my ...

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

I've often used, without problem, the construct

    for my $foo (@bar) {
        do_stuff($foo);
    }

I once saw a version of perl that wasn't happy with this (5.00x.y, I
think). I saw another today (5.6).

I thought this was supposed to be a perfectly legal and reasonable
thing to do. Am I mistaken or confused? I hate having to say

    my $foo;
    for $foo (@bar) {
        do_stuff($foo);
    }
