RE: masks earlier declaration in same scope

[Cornish, Merrill]

Jonathan,

The my declaration for a variable such as should appear only once in a given
scope.  After you have declared it, you can then assign to that declared
variable as many times as you need.  

     my $name0 = "c:/test";
     . . .
     $name0 = "c:/file2";
     . . .
     $name0 = "c:/output.txt";

Does that help?
