Description
Hi
I think it would be useful to have an analogue of the "my" keyword in Perl
e.g.
x = 'outer value'
p = Proc.new {
...
many code here
...
my x = 'local value does not affect outer variable'
}
I know I can declare local variables in the beginning of the block with a semicolon |;x|
but imho special keyword would be more handy

If you are proposing to introduce 'my' keyword to the language, there's no chance.
Introducing new keyword can cause compatibility problems, so that it should be very beneficial.
Otherwise please be concrete.
Matz.
