Right sorry if my thing is a bit convoluted. Let me try again. I have two objects using 2 different classes. One is say called $f thats an instance of class "Foobar." The other is $b of class "Blah." They're both modules.

My question would be, can I inside the module for "Blah" access a variable in the main program? That variable also happens to be $f, an instance of "Foobar."

Let me fix my example too.

main code:

use Blah;
use Foobar;

$b = Blah->new();
$f = Foobar->new();
$b->doSomething;

[download]

and inside the Blah module: 

sub new {
...
}

sub doSomething {
$f->methodX();
}

[download]

And inside the Foobar module:

sub new {
...
}

sub methodX {
does some fun things here
}

[download]

So basically, method "doSomething" is invoked. I want to be able for "doSomething" to access variable in the main program $f. $f just happens to be an instance of "Foobar."

Thanks!
