in reply to RFC: vars::i - Perl pragma to declare and simultaneously initialize global variables.

    use vars::i '$VERSION' => 3.44;
    use vars::i '@BORG' => 6 .. 6;
    use vars::i '%BORD' => 1 .. 10;
    use vars::i '&VERSION' => sub(){rand 20};
    use vars::i '*SOUTH' => *STDOUT;

our $VERSION = 3.44;
our @BORG = (6);
our %BORD = 1 .. 10;
our *SOUTH = *STDOUT;

sub VERSION () { rand 20 }

Are you still living in 5.00x-land, or do you for some reason dislike our (in which case please explain (I think lexical declaration is a Good Thing))?

    For the same reasons people still use vars (think of it as an extension of vars).

      For the same reasons people still use vars (think of it as an extension of vars).

      And what is the reason for using vars? Is it 5.00x-compatibility or is it because people dislike our? (In which case I'd still like an explanation :)

      Whatever the reason is, I think you should document it.
