Aren't we talking about the different between
1) container localisation:
my $x = 1;
my $rx = $x;
local $x = 2;
print $$rx, $x; # prints 2,2
2) value localisation:
my $x = 1;
my $rx = $x;
local $x = 2;
print $$rx, $x; # prints 1,2
local() normally does container localisation. I think for consistency it
should do that with lexical vars too.
i.e.
{
local $lex = $foo;
...
}
should be equivalent to
for $lex ($foo) {
...
}
