Variable "%s" is not imported%s

(S misc) With "use strict" in effect, you referred to a global variable that you apparently thought was imported from another module, because something else of the same name (usually a subroutine) is exported by that module. It usually means you put the wrong funny character on the front of your variable.

I did run across that one earlier in my quest for a resolution, but found it of no use to me--too esoteric and short on detail. I have no idea what the "right" "funny character" should be--or even what a "funny character" is supposed to refer to--the dollar sign, perhaps? What else would one prefix a scalar variable with?

I guess there's no easy answer. Best, in my case, might be just to turn "strict" back off and continue my troubleshooting without its bungling "help." Sorry to have troubled the waters here for nothing.

Blessings,
