Here's the part I still don't understand, and maybe some of you can show me the light. What is the difference between local() and my()? I have never used local(), the only examples I've ever been given involve scoping $_, and if I am ever tempted to do that, I can usually trace it back to a bad algorithm.

The scope os a lexical variable is always to the end of the enclosing block or eval()ed string or the file. The body of a subroutine is just a block as far as scoping is concerned.
