in reply to Re: global variables
in thread global variables

So the code can just be:
use 'inc.conf';

?? Or do i need to include a use lib, because the above isnt working for me.
I get the error:
syntax error at global_vars.pl line 5, near "use 'inc.conf'"

    no, it will work allright if you just change the   my $var = "blah";   to   our $var = "blah";   in   inc.conf.

      so like this?? 
      #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use "inc.conf";

our $var;
print $var , "\n";

exit;

      And the contents of inc.conf... 
      #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

our $var = "blah";

1;

      Because I still get a syntax error. Forgive me if I am a bit dense :)

        no, as davidj said, ignore his post. change 'my' to 'our' and you're done. require is just fine.
        for more info read Fletch's post and see perlfunc for require and use.

        -   use "inc.conf";
        +   require "inc.conf";

        Your first try wasn't that bad.
