Hi !

I have a module which exports application level variables in EXPORT array, and the variables are defined with 'our' keyword. This works for 5.6.0
e.g.
our test1='test_first';

Unfortunately I have coded a lot of scripts with this and I have to run them on 5.005 which does not support our.

What should be the exact syntax in 5.005 if I want to export the variables?

Also on the sideline I tried to put all these variables in a file say "incl.pl"
#!/usr/bin/perl
$test1='test_first';
$test2='test_second';
1;


Now when I use 'use strict' and then 'require ('incl.pl')' and these variables are not available and Global package error occurs. What could be a workaround for this?

Thanks
