A C<my> declares the listed variables to be local (lexically) to the
enclosing block, file, or C<eval>. If
more than one value is listed, the list must be placed in parentheses. See
for integer
l interpret integer as C type "long" or "unsigned long"
h interpret integer as C type "short" or "unsigned short"
+ If no flags, interpret integer as C type "int" or "unsigned"
There is also one Perl-specific flag:
If Perl understands "quads" (64-bit integers) (this requires
either that the platform natively supports quads or that Perl
-has been specifically compiled to support quads), the flags

=item sub NAME BLOCK
This is subroutine definition, not a real function I<per se>. With just a
-NAME (and possibly prototypes), it's just a forward declaration. Without
-a NAME, it's an anonymous function declaration, and does actually return a
-value: the CODE ref of the closure you just created. See L<perlsub> and
-L<perlref> for details.
