Re^2: Globalize the XML writer object

Hi, I tried by declaring it as "Our". But the case is : Lets say :

Package foo
 sub create xml{
our $XmlWriterObject = new XML::Writer( DATA_MODE => 1, DATA_INDENT =>
+ 4, OUTPUT => $Output );
}

package Bar;

sub {
$Foo::XmlWriterObject->endTag("Config");
}
[download]

For this the xml file is created but no data has been written into it.

Please clarify.

priyaviswam: After I added `use strict` and `use warnings` and corrected the myriad errors, I was able to make it work just fine. I'd post the (trivial) code, but given that you didn't even bother to try to make a working example, despite being here since July, I'm not terribly motivated to cut & paste my working code snippet here. A couple hints: Subroutines need names. Case matters. You actually need to call subroutines in order for them to do things for you. Please make your code at least compile first, and then I'll be happy to give you a few more pointers. ...roboticus When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

You actually need to *call* subroutines in order for them to do things for you.

Please make your code at least *compile* first, and then I'll be happy to give you a few more pointers.
