    (F) You've said "use strict vars", which indicates that all variab

    must either be lexically scoped (using "my"), declared beforehand 
+using
    "our", or explicitly qualified to say which package the global var

    is in (using "::").

Uncaught exception from user code:

To "fix" it, you do something like 

my $foo = 1;
my $bar;
{# a new scope
   $bar = 2;
}# end of new scope

my $baz = $bar;
