Re: require & $main::variables

How do you declare $project within your main package? My initial thought is that you're declaring it using my, in which case it's a lexical variable, not a package variable and won't be visible from outside the main file.

If that's not right, perhaps you can post a cut-down versnio of the code which exhibits this behaviour.

Yeep, that was it. Now I use our in main and it works with require. Thanks. But in another program it works with use and my in the main program. Maybe require is a little bit different from use in that case. `----------------------------------- --the good, the bad and the physi-- -----------------------------------` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Read up on `require` and `use` ... they are indeed different (`use` `requires` the file and then imports all the variables the file exports.) perlfunc:require perlfunc:use Philosophy can be made out of anything. Or less -- Jerry A. Fodor	[reply] [d/l] [select]
