Use do rather than require (via use) when the "module" doesn't have a package statement.

It's maybe worth noting that the `do` would need to be put in a BEGIN block to have it execute at compile time `BEGIN { do "MyVars.pm" }` [download] And for anyone unsure what the difference is: in contrast to `require`, `do` doesn't keep track of what's already been loaded — which could make a difference if you `use MyVars` several times (in different namespaces) in the same script/program.
