in reply to Accessing the package variables by fully qualified name

Importing a package with use doesn't automatically export all package variables (and subs) to your namespace, so they may be accessing the variable using fully qualified names because it is the only way to access that particular variable.

    Yes, you are right thanks for an idea, but they used fully qualified name for when they change the value of that variable.

      ...sorry I don't understand. Is it that the variable has been exported, but when its being changed, its addressed using its fully qualified name?

        Yes, it has been exported.
