(I guess you are talking about lexicaly scoped vars) plus that any globals 
which in a normal script:

$foo = 5;

will end up in main:

$main::foo

will be nuked as well.

It's more simple than that. don't use <Perl></Perl> sections for anything 
that you can do from real perl.  <Perl></Perl> sections are there only for 
doing Apache configuration. Anything else, you are on your own. so any 
example that doesn't deal with Apache config is a bad example.
