Variable declarations

[Peter Skipworth]

my $a = my $b = my $c = 1;

That works and is perfectly valid AFAIK, as is my ($a, $b, $c)=(1,1,1);

I don't think there's any shorter way of doing it properly...

$a = $b = $c = 1 also works, but assumes your vars have already been
declared of course...

Cheers,

P
