in reply to Sharing the scalar love?

When you use a module in a script, any variables defined in that module with our (instead of my) are automatically exported.

Alternatively, just declare the variable in one module (package) and refer to it using the package name, double colon, variable name.

    Can you post some code that demonstrates this?

      S.pm... 

      package S;

use strict;
use warnings;

our $x = 1;

      And here is a script using S.pm 

      use strict;
use warnings;

use S;

print $S::x;
print "\n";

        Where's the export? Do you mean something besides "creates an entry in the caller's symbol table"?
