# NAME

local - create a temporary value for a global variable (dynamic scoping)

# SYNOPSIS

local EXPR

# DESCRIPTION

You really probably want to be using `my` instead, because `local` isn't what most people think of as ``local''. See Private Variables via my() in the perlsub manpage for details.

A local modifies the listed variables to be local to the enclosing block, file, or eval. If more than one value is listed, the list must be placed in parentheses. See Temporary Values via local() in the perlsub manpage for details, including issues with tied arrays and hashes.
