in reply to Sharing Across Packages

The main package scoped variable $MW is not available inside the package BPP::About.

Where do you call AboutBPP? You could always call it as 

    AboutBPP($MW);

if it's from the main program.

And then all you would have to do is add to AboutBPP 

    my $MW = shift;

Hope this helped,

    "Package scoped variables" are package variables, they're always accessible using the fully qualified name (like $main::MW). When dealing with our, the only thing you're "scoping" is the possibility to use the non-fully-qualified symbol ($MW) instead of the fully qualified one ($main::MW).

    Don't fool yourself.
