in reply to Re: changing package variables?
in thread changing package variables?

Thanks!
I was under the mistaken impression that doing
  use MYPACKAGE qw / sub1 /;
  use vars qw / $var1 /;
Would give me instance of $MYPACKAGE::var1 in my main package scope.
So what's the diffence between
  use vars qw / $var1 /;
and
  my $var1
?????? What was I thinking?

    In a nutshell :my does not declare a package variable. use vars does. There's a wealth of information on this topic in the Tutorials section of the site (subsection "variables"); I'll plug my Variable Scoping in Perl: the basics and Dominus' Coping With Scoping specifically.

    update adjusted the link to CwS to point directly to it.

    If not P, what? Q maybe?
