When to use "my"?

[Gross, Stephan]

One of the  things I've been struck by on this list is how often the "my"
declaration is used.
For example, I never would have thought of
foreach my $i (@data)
What are the advantages to doing this?  A while back someone showed that it
could speed up execution.  Why would this be?
 
Just curious,
Steve
