If the conditional is false, its not clear if the variable will be false, undefined, undeclared, or what. It's much more straightforward to make variable declarations separately. my $foo = $baz if $bar; #not ok my $foo = $baz unless $bar; #not ok our $foo = $baz for @list; #not ok local $foo = $baz foreach @list; #not ok =head1 CONFIGURATION This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. =head1 AUTHOR Jeffrey R.
