Local is great for a few things, but almost universally you should be
using my(). local() can cause you some real (and unexpected) headaches.
For example, a local() variable really isn't. You can only local() a
global (go figure =o) and the value is hidden, possibly replaced with
whatever you assign, and then restored at the end of that scope. But
what if you make a function call in that scope, to a function that also
uses that variable? It'll have the local()'d value.
Use my() unless you know why. =o)
