I doubt that. A lot of programming languages don't know the concept
of static variables. And even in languages that do, it isn't used

IMO, not doubt the latter looks far more elegant - as that
enables your
'static' variable to be shared with more

You can write
if ($some_condition) {
do_this;
do_that;
do_something_else;
}
and you can write
do_this if $some_condition;
You need not write
if ($some_condition) {do_this}
You can also write
do {
do_this;
[ { my $staticvar; sub mysub {...} }versus sub mysub {static
$staticvar;} ]
Abigail and others point that the first version is more flexible than the
second one, which is true. Reason: the first construct allows subs to share
the statics. On the other hand, there is a psychological
