my EXPR
my TYPE EXPR
my EXPR : ATTRS
my TYPE EXPR : ATTRS
A my
declares the listed variables to be local (lexically) to the
enclosing block, file, or eval
. If more than one value is listed,
the list must be placed in parentheses.
The exact semantics and interface of TYPE and ATTRS are still
evolving. TYPE is currently bound to the use of fields
pragma,
and attributes are handled using the attributes
pragma, or starting
from Perl 5.8.0 also via the Attribute::Handlers
module. See
Private Variables via my() in the perlsub manpage for details, and the fields manpage,
the attributes manpage, and the Attribute::Handlers manpage.
