in thread my first module

I did point that out. I had meant 'in general' to change 'our' to 'my' if he isn't in 5.6.. bad wording left room for interpretation. But, I am wrong (this Florida sun is scrambling my brain), you would want use vars.

Cheers,

    No, in general, you cannot change our to my, because that changes a package variable into a lexical variable, really hosing things up.

    "In General", you'll be wanting to change our to use vars, the closest analog between 5.1 and 5.5.3 for the new-in-5.6 our construct.

      I think the Florida sun is quickly turning my brain into some sort of cerebral soup... I stand corrected :)
