Why are you using a temporary variable 'j' here? It's not needed at
all, and just is confusing to read the code now, don't you agree?

Same here, why add a new variable that isn't used more than once? You
are trying to work around something that doesn't make sense to work
around.
Remember, coding style cleanups are to be done to make the code easier
to understand and follow. Not to blindly follow a perl script that
can not think. Sometimes it is not right...
