Re: Qualified package variable access

Thanks Brother Rolf. 'our' is the fix. I've been using Perl on and off for 20 odd years and that's the first time I've used 'our' as far as I recall. My very well thumbed O'Reilly camel book (2nd edition 1996!) doesn't actually mention it!

Before that, one of the ways "predeclare" package variables was the vars pragma. You might be interested in the 4th edition Camel, or Modern Perl.	[reply]
