Can y'all show me what I am doing wrong when i run the package is shows that it is using the $name from the Cat package and not Dog
Read our.
package Dog;
our $name="Odie";
Here you are creating an alias of the package variable $Dog::name whose scope goes from there to end of file and spans packages. So, in your package Cat the variable $name also refers to $Dog::name whose value you are overwriting.
package Dog;
our $name = "Odie";
print "dog's name is '$name'\n";
package Cat;
$name = 'Garfield';
print "package var \$Cat::name is '$Cat::name'\n";
print "\$name is '$name'\n";
print "package var \$Dog::name is '$Dog::name'\n";
__END__
dog's name is 'Odie'
package var $Cat::name is ''
$name is 'Garfield'
package var $Dog::name is 'Garfield'
perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'

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).
