Difference between my() and $var = false

[Jason C]

Is there a technical difference between these two?

my($var);
$var = false;

my($var);
$var = false;

Or, well, I guess I should say $var = undef, not $var = false. Sorry, I haven't really programmed in Perl in awhile.

Is there a technical difference between these two?

my($var);
$var = false;

The first declares a lexically scoped variable.

The second declares a global variable (and will die on 'use strict').

Is there a technical difference between these two?

my($var);
$var = false;

Hmmmm, do they have anything in common?
