in reply to global variables defined in an external file

Whenever I see 'global variables' I immediately think "Configuration File".

There are many, many modules on CPAN in the Config name-space. My particular favorites are Config::Simple and Config::Tiny.

Isolating your global variables into one place and explicitly calling that place 'configuration' is a Goodness for the maintainer.
