Hello esteemed Monks,

I have the following pm file : 

use strict ;
use warnings ; 

package FOO ;

sub Principal::bof {
    my $fic = "toto" ; 
    bof2() ; 
} 

sub bof2 {
    print $fic 
} 

1;

[download]
Which is loaded by a script like this : 
use strict ;
use warnings ;
package Principal ;
require ("ot.pm") ; 
Principal::bof() ;

[download]
This fails with  Global symbol "$fic" requires explicit package name .

I tried to do print $FOO:fic or print $Principal::fic in the bof2 sub but then it fails with Use of uninitialized value in print

I don't understand the namespaces relations in this . Is there a way i can access the value from bof2() without passing it as parameter ?

Thanks if you can help .
