I want to know if there's a module or resource to make a variable global for all the script, not only the scope, including inside packages!

I know that our() can be used, but this is only for the same scope. I want to make exactly what happens with %ENV, %INC and @INC.

I have tried to make this changing the Perl source, in the file gv.c, and works fine, but this isn't portable, since Perl binarys need to be recompiled.

For who want to make some tests, here are the changes inside gv.c that I made, this start in the line 712 (Perl-5.8.0), my new global variable is %HWX:

else if (*name == 'H' && strEQ(name, "HWX")) global = TRUE;
