It's so that attributes get (re)applied correctly to lexicals.
Consider calling these subroutines:
sub tail {
my $dog : Hairy;
...
}
sub story {
our $dolly : Cute;
}
On every invocation of tail we have a new $dog, so it has to be make
Hairy at runtime. Ever every time we tell the story we use the same
$dolly which was made Cute at time of manufacture.
