in reply to Note on usage of ours variables and a question

> I would like to avoid qualification with package name a variable that I use in many modules in many situations. For example, variable debug.

use strict;
use warnings;

package Debug;

our $DEBUG;

package MyPkg;

print $DEBUG if $DEBUG;
