I'm following http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=619554 but can't get it to work when use strict; is in place. Could any of the masters here please enlighten this confused initiate? The errors Perl is reporting are

Global symbol "$testVal" requires explicit package name at ./test.pl line 8.
Global symbol "@testArray" requires explicit package name at ./test.pl line 10.
Global symbol "@testArray" requires explicit package name at ./test.pl line 12.
Global symbol "@testArray" requires explicit package name at ./test.pl line 12.
Execution of ./test.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

My code is

test.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl -T use warnings; use strict; require "./shared.pl"; print $testVal; for my $i (0 .. (scalar(@testArray)-1)) { print $testArray[$i][0] . " = " . $testArray[$i][1] . "\n"; };

shared.pl

use base qw (Exporter); our @EXPORT = qw(testVal testArray); my $testVal = "hello world\n"; my @testArray = ( ["Shadow", "Blinky"], ["Speedy", "Pinky"], ["Bashful", "Inky"], ["Pokey", "Clyde"] ); 1;
