Ok, I am so sick of banging my head against the wall on this one. I have read through previous answers to this question and none help me.

Setup: I have two modules A and B and both 'use' each other since they make references to each other. Now package B has 'use vars' since it has some global data.

I the "Subroutine xxxx redefined" and the sub isn't declared twice, but as soon I remove the 'use B' from the A package, errors go away.

I tried 'use subs' on the B subroutines to try and get rid fo the error with no luck. I don't import name space and always use fully qualified paths to the other package's subroutines.

Anyone got any ideas? How do I have global variables and have the subs use each other? I tried getting rid of 'use vars' but that did not go over well when I tried to use the variables outside of the package (fully qualified of course). The var $A::foo was empty when displayed in package B.
