I translate "Understand Perl Scope" from Japanese to English

Perl scope concept is very good. This is more understandable than other language.

The tutorial claims that there are no exceptions to the rule that "{" and "}" begin and end a scope. There are exceptions!

Firstly, the whole file itself is a lexical scope. Lexicals declared in one file are not normally visible to code in another file.

Also, an exception in the other direction: braces do not begin and end a scope if they're used to create a hashref:

   use strict;
   +{
      (my $x = 42), undef
   };
   print "$x\n";
