So exporting the whole typeglob will fix it.:).

In case exporter doesn't support * , use your own import

This perfectly does the job!

I replaced

our @EXPORT = qw( %debug $d_area dsay );
by
our @EXPORT = qw( %debug *d_area dsay );
in Dsay.pm.

I now can use

sub one { local $d_area = "one"; dsay "debugging output from one"; } sub two { local $d_area = "two"; dsay "debugging output from two"; } $debug{TWO} = 1; one; two;
and get debugging output from the 'two' area only. Debugging output stops as soon as the localized $d_area value drops out of scope.
And this without the need of qualifying $Dsay::d_area anymore!

Thank you so much! This really helps, and I have learned a lot!
