Hello Mano_Man,

Looking through the various options in the thread linked by poj, the simplest/cleanest looks to be Syntax::Collector by tobyink. Here’s an example:

File GlobalDefined.pm:

package GlobalDefined;

our $VERSION             =  1;
our $PROJECT_GLOBAL_VAR1 = 42;

use Syntax::Collector
q{
   use strict       0;
   use warnings     0;
   use Data::Dumper 2.161;
   use Data::Dump   1.23 qw( pp );
 };

1;

File main.pl:

package GlobalDefined;
use     GlobalDefined;

our $PROJECT_GLOBAL_VAR1;

print 'My global = >', pp($PROJECT_GLOBAL_VAR1), "<\n";

[download]

Note that you still have to do a bit of work to access package globals in the calling script. This is probably a good thing, as globals should be used as sparingly as possible. (In my experimenting, I couldn’t get Exporter to play nicely with either Syntax::Collector or ToolSet when exporting package variables.)

Hope that helps,
