Pardon this posting which'll probably display my ignorance of how use and namespaces work...

I have a system of cooperating perl scripts that all use a small number of critical parameters -- my so called "big levers", as moving any of them slightly has a big effect on final conclusions. I put these variables in a .pm file and  use them in my different scripts. (see sample below) One of my scripts generates a plethora of excel reports. As these levers matter so much, I'd like to include these big levers at the bottom of every report, to show the scenario the report reflects.

My questions is:

After a script does  use BigLevers;, how can I examine the namespace to determine which global vars the  use set? In this toy example, the answer I'm seeking is the list $NETOVERGROSS_ORDS, $NETOVERGROSS_DOLS, $FNEW_GROSS_ORDS, $FNEW_GROSS_DOLS, so I then I can pump these vars and their values onto my reports.

Parsing these names out of the physical file doesn't seem elegant, surely I can grab them from Perl itself after they've been loaded?

nop 


## The Big Levers

use strict;
use vars qw($NETOVERGROSS_ORDS
        $NETOVERGROSS_DOLS
        $FNEW_GROSS_ORDS
        $FNEW_GROSS_DOLS);

$NETOVERGROSS_ORDS = .98;
$NETOVERGROSS_DOLS = .97;

$FNEW_GROSS_ORDS = .35;
$FNEW_GROSS_DOLS = .35;

1;
