I have got a program written up and I have one scalar which I wish to pass from one file to another directly. So I had our $thingy; but the machiene I tried to run it on informed me that "Use of reserved word "our" is deprecated" so I opened up the library file and changed it to my $thingy. But now I am informed that $thingy is undefined when I run the program, its just a warning, but when $thingy is declared as an our the warning does not appear.
Furthermore, when attempting to construct a sample program to demonstrate what on earth I am talking about, I ran into a REALLY odd set of output.
program.pl 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use lib '/home/httpd/cgi-bin/testing/WORTHLESS';
use library;

print $library::my;
print $library::our;

my $thing = $library::my;
my $other = $library::our;

print "$thing\n$other";

--------------

library.pm 

my $my = "my";
our $our = "our";


print "lib $my\n$our endlib";

those are my sample programs, so why is it exactly that I get this output? 
#./program.pl 
lib my
Use of uninitialized value in print at ./program.pl line 6.
Use of uninitialized value in print at ./program.pl line 7.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./program
+.pl line 12.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./program
+.pl line 12.
our endlib

It is my understanding that the "lib my" and the "our endlib" should be printed out directly after each other given they are part of the same print statement. Obviously I am wrong.
Anyone know how to correct these errors or take a shortcut around the "Use of reserved word "our" is deprecated" problem?

all code is tested, and doesn't work so there :p (varient on common PM sig for my own ammusment)
