Kyle, this is a syntactic 'not-nicety' of Perl imho. You need a separate 
line like so:

my $key;

This must of course go before the loop, preferably right before it as this 
is good style. Hope I don't get flamed to death now. :)

BTW, an alternative that I sometimes use in the case where I need a bunch 
of scalars in a sub is to just declare a hash, e.g.

my %vars;

Now I can use $vars{moe}, $vars{curly} etc... to my heart's content with 
only the one 'my' variable.

hth,
Marty
