in reply to i thought i knew 'our'...
Update: from the man pages i get:
An `our' declares the listed variables to be valid
globals within the enclosing block, file, or `eval'.
That is, it has the same scoping rules as
a "my" declaration, but does not create a local variable.

'our' and 'my' are two very different beasts. You can not
substitute 'our' with 'my' or vice versa, take this as an example:
use strict;
{
our $y;
$y = 17;
print "Inner: $y\n";
}
our $y;
print "Outer: $y\n";
That will print:
Inner: 17
Outer: 17
Now, if you substituted our with my (s/our/my/g) then it
would print:
Inner: 17
Outer:
...and it would complain about use of uninitialized variable :-)

you are right, what i meant was that our could be use to declare variables in the begining
of a program like:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
our($foo,@bar,%args); <- this was what i meant.
Not to s/my/our/; as you pointed out. Sorry didn't explain myself quite right.
