    I think it's mostly personal preference. That said our is not avalable in older versions of perl, so if you plan to distribute your code it may be wise to not use it unless you have good reason to. Fully qualifed names get a bit long if you use them more than a few times, especialy if there is more than one in the same statment. Generaly I think use vars is the cleanest and safest way to do it.
