I have the following: 
package Cmds; #{{{
    use Readonly; sub RO(\[$@%]@){goto &Readonly};
    use File::SearchPath qw /searchpath/;
    
    RO our $sig => "％％"; #improbable filename prefix
    RO our $Dflt_Path => "/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin
+";

    sub skey($) {$sig.$_[0]}
    
    our %Global_Cache = (                            # Global cache fo
+r non-OO use
        skey("asis")                =>    0,
        skey("Firstcap")        =>    1,
        skey("prefix_ln")        =>    0,
        skey("post_ln")            =>    0,
        skey("SAFE_PATH")        =>    $Dflt_Path,
        skey("PATH")                =>    $Dflt_Path,
        skey("path_safe")        =>     1,
        skey("imp_init")        =>    1,                #global alread

    );

and am getting the following warnings from this file:

line 58 is the 1 line routine in the listing that defines sub skey (concatenating a constant with any param to form a keyname that I thought I would be likely to use as part of a filename...;-))... I had "\0x00" in the beginning of the key, figuring that'd be impossible for use in a Unix file name (and didn't think it should be a problem as a hash key), but thought that might be causing this issue. so replaced it with a dup of the 2nd char).

So why is it ignoring the define of '$sig' immediately above it? and claiming it is "undefined"

I also tried"$sig" as a package as 'my'...nada...(same error)

So...doesn't like my/our, ?... um?...

What am I missing?
