our $a = "Outer";
{
  our $a = "Inner";
  print "$a\n";
}
print "$a\n";

$a is "Inner" in both places. If I understand how our() works, its
supposed to have the same scoping rules as my(). I would expect
"Inner" and then "Outer", same as my().

Next, our() doesn't appear to localize in a loop conditional​:

our $a = "Outer";
for (our $a = 1; $a < 2; $a++) {
  print "$a\n";
}
print "$a\n";

$a is 3, not "Outer" after the for loop. I presume the two bugs are
related.

However, this -does- work as expected.

our $a = "Outer";
for our $a (1, 2) {
  print "$a\n";
}
print "$a\n";

$a is 'Outer' after the for loop.

(Just closing old bugs :-)

Your bug report was labouring under the mis-apprehension that 'our'
localises stuff. Since it doesn't, its not-a-bug!
The
  for our $x (...)
appeared to localise only because for itself localises, ie
  for $x (...)
works just as well.
