To say that $a and $b are in main:: you can use something like:
package main;
our($a,$b);
package RealPackage;
# ...
However, I think you are doing something that is not a good idea. Since you seem to have perl >=5.6, I would reccommend using a function with a prototype of ($$) as your sort routine:
sub directories_first ($$) {
my ($a,$b) = @_;
# ...
}
Otherwise, if your function is to work should you want to use it in a package besides main you're going to need to do something to use the correct package's variable, such as dynamically generating the function on export or using symbolic references.

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).
