I meaned how declaration in perl can be defined. For example when you declare a variable. I don't know exactly how to explain. Let's say: what how can declaration be defined (on a simple variable)?	[reply]

you don't have to 'declare' variables.. they just spring in to existance when you assign to one. however, when you use strict, you 'declare' them with my().	[reply]

Please be more specific. Do you mean "declaration" such as a function (or class) declaration in a C (or C++) header file? Or are you just talking about variable declarations such as what use strict forces you to do?	[reply]
