Hi Monks,
I am a Perl rookies that seek you wisdom. I am working on a project and I need to parse around some variables to separate modules I have created.
Example:
use strict;
use var qw($readMode $writeMode $appendMode);
$readMode = '';
$writeMode = '>';
$appendmode = '>>';
sub openFile
{
my $mode = pop(@_)
open(FILENAME, $mode, EXPR);
}
I have multiply mudules that I will like to use the various file modes that I have define in this module say called "moduleA". In moduleB that is locate in a separate file, I use the following code;
use strict;
require "moduleA.pl";
openFile("someOtherStuff", $readMode);
Whenever I run the code, I see the following error
"Global symbol "$readMode" requires explicit package name at ..."
Could any Monk kindly fill me with wisdom? note, I don't want to $readMode by way of a subroutine.
Thanks

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).
