How about this patch instead?

# Ahh.. so 'my' variables have scope similar to local (volatile?)
Yes 'my' variable in perl are like local variables (those defined
on the stack) in C. Not volatile though. Volatile is a flag to
the compiler that a variable might be changed elsewhere (by a
signal handler for instance) and to not get too overzealous with
its optimization.
# variables in C, while 'local' variables don't have a comparable
# variable class in C?
Yes.
# Cool. I really should sit down and learn Perl.
There are alot of people who hate the language. I for one like
it, but then again I happen to like Python too. :)
