I have two files:
# inc.pl
use vars qw($foo);
$foo = "hello";
1;
# t.pl
use strict;
use vars qw($foo);
do 'inc.pl';
print $foo, "\n";
If I remove the 'use vars' from t.pl than t.pl fails to run with the error 'Global symbol "$foo" requires explicit package name'. How can I create a main:: global variable in inc.pl which I can access from t.pl without explicitly listing it in a 'use vars'?
I would like to have lots of variables in inc.pl without listing each of them in files that use them.
Thank you for any help.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
