To get things straight in my head.

At the moment my code declares some 'our' variables, some of which are in a BEGIN {} tag. It then uses VARS for each of those variables (I had to do this to stop strict from complaining) Later variables are defined with 'our' alone and strict doesn't complain (I guess it has something to do with the begin tag).

Your telling me that if I go through my whole program and change every 'our' to 'my' and add the variable to the VARS list it'll be global even though it was declared with my? Or if it's in the VARS list do I not put a my in front?

Sorry if I sound dense but it's 5:30am where I am and I've been working through the night (again).

Thanks
Lyle
