Variables in perl
I don't fully understand variables in perl.
If we have a variable defined like this "my $number = 1" then this is called a lexical variable? But if you define this at the top of a script then why isn't it a global variable because it would be available throughout the file?
Sorry if this is a really stupid question to ask but I'm getting myself confused.
