Sorry about this last one, I undrestand the idea of local for globs, I just thought that local $/; and local ($/); differ. While reading your answers I realised that it's the same as saying: my ($a); which is equivalent to my $a; It is pretty weird to have equivalent operators ( 'or' / '||' ) with different precedence.
