It has been pointed out that the construct apparently isn't localising
anything.
It can't be right for a local() not to localise anything *and* give
no warning.
And as another data point, I note that
local (undef);
is valid Perl. I suspect that '$/ = undef' is being evaluated as
'undef' and passed as argument to local().
