Re: perl global vars in subroutines

use our

our global_1;
our global_2;

require(perl_mod.pm);
[download]

now in your perl_mod.pm you need to include:

our global_1;
our global_2;
[download]

This will allow you to use global variables across perl files. Make sure you use Strict as well.

As I said a long time ago, Why is 'our' good? I've yet to see a good answer to that question. (The original question is a sign of someone rapidly digging himself a deep, nasty hole. But I'll let someone else decide whether to write up a rant on modularity.)	[reply]

Well, first of all, if the perlmod.pm file starts with `package Me;`, it's not going to work. The `our $global_1;` in the main file will refer to `$main::global_1;`, while the `our $global_2;` in the module refer to `$Me::global_1;`. But if you don't use a package statement, and have everything in the main package, and you aren't using parameters to pass arguments to subroutines, there's little reason to use strict and our.
