so like this??

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use "inc.conf";

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

exit;
[download]

And the contents of inc.conf...

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

our $var = "blah";

1;
[download]

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