Sharing the scalar love?by jcpunk (Friar) |

jcpunk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Forgive the title, but it does actually apply. I am cleaning up some code for a friend who is deathly afraid of global scalars (even though he does really need one of his several dozen scalars been passed to each function to be global)But I haven't ever worked with this type of thing in perl So I was looking for some advice on sharing a scalar by the name of $love across 3 different files (require './file1'; require './file2';) Idealy I would like to put $love in file1 and share it from there, but given my complete lack of expirence in this area I will defer to you guys. I have really no idea how even to address the scalar once it is placed inside of the file (I guessed a bit and put our $love; inside of file1, but program.pl cannot access it via the name $love) I would also be interested in a stern talking to if the idea of global scalars for all 12 of the scalars used frequently in file1 would be considered an bad idea. jcpunk all code is tested, and doesn't work so there :p (varient on common PM sig for my own ammusment)
