While I appreciate your concern, I thought it was pretty clear that the example I gave was contrived for debugging purposes and to illustrate the problem as clearly/simply as possible.
Yes, my actual application will only grab it where I need to use it. I was just concerned that I couldn't grab the value in the setup() method.
For the sake of completeness (of the contrived example, not my real code), the following is the altered WebApp.cgi:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use WebApp;
my $webapp = WebApp->new(
PARAMS => {
'var1' => 'val1',
'var2' => 'val2',
},
);
$webapp->run;
I'm not recommending that people use global variables this way in production code.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
