Dear Monks,

What am I doing wrong here?

package myPackage;

use Exporter;
use vars qw ($VERSION @ISA @EXPORT @EXPORT_OK %EXPORT_TAGS);

$VERSION = 1.00;
@ISA    = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT    = qw( %tables );
@EXPORT_OK = qw(%tables);
#%EXPORT_TAGS    = ();

my $topDir = "E:\\tables";
####
my %tables = (
    ABC     => {
        InitDir    => "$topDir\\ABC\\",
        CtlFile => "ABC.ctl", 
        LogFile => "ABC.log"
        },
    XYZ    => {
        InitDir    => "$topDir\\XYZ\\",
        CtlFile => "DOD_CIV_PAY.ctl", 
        LogFile => "DOD_CIV_PAY.log"
        },
    Other     => {
        InitDir    => "$topDir\\.",
        CtlFile => "", 
        LogFile => ""
        }
);

... and here's my test script ...

#!c:\Cygwin\bin\perl.exe -wT

use strict;
use lib ('.');
use myPackage '%tables';

my $idir     =        $tables{"ABC"}{"InitDir"};
my $ctlFile    =        $myPackage::tables{"ABC"}{"CtlFile"};

print "[$idir] [$ctlFile]\n";

here's what happens when I run it ...

$ ./myTest.pl

Please help!
