[Israel.pm] Can anyone explain my mistake ?

   Foreach Loops
       The "foreach" loop iterates over a normal list value and sets the 
variable VAR to be each element of the list in turn.  If the variable is 
preceded with the
       keyword "my", then it is lexically scoped, and is therefore 
visible only within the loop.  Otherwise, the variable is implicitly 
local to the loop and regains its
       former value upon exiting the loop.  If the variable was 
previously declared with "my", it uses that variable instead of the 
global one, but it’s still localized
       to the loop.  This implicit localisation occurs only in a 
"foreach" loop.
