Re: How to declare and use global variables

From the docs:

An "our" declaration declares a global variable that will be visible across its entire lexical scope, even across package boundaries.

Note that separate files each do have their own lexical scope...

Personally - in the few cases that I want to use global variables - I refer to them fully qualified ($Inst::make_AR_1 in this case). The additional typing required every time make me rethink whether I really want to have the variable global :)

Are you consistent? That is, you always write `$main::_` and `@main::ARGV` instead of `$_` and `@ARGV`?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

No... Inconsistency is a personality trait of mine which sometimes comes in handy :)	[reply]
