Re^3: Using variables, arrays etc from a perl module in main script.

Sorry, let me clarify... I say scope operator for "::" because I am used to C++ terminology.

You are correct, I should have stated that when importing variables our allows us to leave out the fully qualified package name and just use the bare $foo. However, if not importing the var we need to use FQPN (e.g., $Package::var).

Correct me if I am wrong, but before Perl 5.6 when we used "use vars", didn't we have to use FQPN even when importing the variable? It's been a long time, but it seems that was the case.

vars created true globals that were exported into the default package, and did not require FQPNs. our's mechanism simply makes them visible (public) but does not export them into the default package. Thus, variables declared with our are accessible but won't clobber or be clobbered unless the import mechanism is invoked.	[reply]
