I was simply showing which examples from perlfunc
are wrong by the high and mighty approach.
It is ridiculous to insist on mying them all.
That was my point.

There *are* real problems in the documenation.
But the fact that something is described as
sin($x)/cos($x)
without a my declaration, is *not* one of them.
The biggest problem is that it is too hard to find the right
information where you're looking for it, because it's scattered

Are you suggesting I'm lying??
No. I'm saying that I find it unbelievable. Perhaps

things, or remembering others.
But yes, I mainly teach programmers programming.

Well, that is not entirely correct. Some /are/ full blown programs.
*Those* I do try to always my() or our() or state() or sometimes

snippet
