(...boy, I'm chatty today...)

It's been discussed recently on this list (and someone correct if I 
remember wrong--I'm to lazy to go back and look) that 'my' doesn't work 
correctly outside of subroutines in MacPerl.  I don't believe this has 
been fixed yet (well, there's some confusion about what 'my' should 
do outside of a block)--even in the latest MacPerl rev.  Try it without 
the 'my.'
