#!/fellow/monks.pl

I'm finally doing it -- I'm using strict, and it's a real change from what I'm used to ;-) Regardless, I need to use it, and so far it's going ok, except for a few minor issues. Fearless monks, I need advise.

For simplicity, here's a simulation of my problem. Enter the pie script. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my $pie;
require "b.pl";

&getpied;

print "The pie says : $pie\n";

The pie requires script b.pl 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

sub getpied
{
    my $pie = "eat me";
}
1;

So, without strict and the 'my' declarations, the script works fine, and the pie says 'eat me', however, when I put the strict stuff in, my variables are no longer portable between libraries.

Fearless monks, do I need to define "use strict" on every perl page, or is one on the main calling page enough? And lastly, how can I get $pie to be portable between the two scripts? Using return is not an option, as I have a whole lot of variables that has to be available in about 8 different scripts.

Thanks!

Don't -- me without telling me why. If you asked a stupid question, I wouldn't down vote you.
