Hi I have a global variable declared and initialized in my .pl file and I am also using this variable in one or more of my .pm files. How do I package this global variable(s) in order to avoid the warnings when run with use strict. The error is Variable "%line" is not imported at ./../bin/myfile.pl line 19. Global symbol "$time" requires explicit package name at ./../bin/file.pl line 64. This error is in mod1.pm Global symbol "%line" requires explicit package name at ../bin/mod1.pm line 55. What package has to used and how? Thanks and Regards, Syed
