I find 'use vars qw()' to be hard on the fingers and even harder on the eyes, particulary as a twin to the very pretty my(). I use our() at the package scope where I'd otherwise 'use vars qw()', basically. I've played with using it to scope access to global data in shortish scripts, but I didn't find it all that useful. -sam	[reply]
