If I do a for loop in a subroutine, do I have to declare it private

where code like this:
sub foo {for $i (1..2) {print $i;}}
affected my global $i (I think). Or was I imagining it?
Probably, since $i ought to be implicitly localized to the loop.

OTOH, I believe it's advisable to always my() declare loop variables,
even if there happens to be a global variable with the same name.
