Answer Posted / Rukmani
In Perl, the 'my' keyword creates a lexical (or private) variable that is only accessible within the current scope. The variable will be destroyed when the subroutine or block ends. On the other hand, 'local' declares a dynamic (or package) variable that can be accessed by any function in the same package. However, unlike 'my', 'local' variables retain their values between function calls.
