Scope of "our" Variable in package

[dushyant]

Hi Monks, I am trying to understand the scope of our variables using below simple code.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

#use strict;

our $hometown = "rajkot";
our $state = "gujarat";

print "Main hometown : $hometown\n";
print "Main state : $state\n";

package dushyant;

print "dushyant first hometown : $hometown\n";
print "dushyant first state : $state\n";

print "dushyant main hometown : $main::hometown\n";
print "dushyant main state : $main::state\n";


package parmar;

our $hometown = "parmar_rajkot";
our $state = "parmar_gujarat";

print "parmar  hometown : $hometown\n";
print "parmar  state : $state\n";

print "parmar main hometown : $main::hometown\n";
print "parmar main state : $main::state\n";


package suresh;

print "suresh  hometown : $hometown\n";
print "suresh  state : $state\n";

print "suresh main hometown : $main::hometown\n";
print "suresh main state : $main::state\n";

package main;

print "Main hometown : $hometown\n";
print "Main state : $state\n";

Output of the code is :

Main hometown : rajkot
Main state : gujarat

dushyant first hometown : rajkot
dushyant first state : gujarat
dushyant main hometown : rajkot
dushyant main state : gujarat

parmar  hometown : parmar_rajkot
parmar  state : parmar_gujarat
parmar main hometown : rajkot
parmar main state : gujarat

suresh  hometown : parmar_rajkot
suresh  state : parmar_gujarat
suresh main hometown : rajkot
suresh main state : gujarat

Main hometown : parmar_rajkot
Main state : parmar_gujarat

Last four line of output is confusing. What i am thinking is that Either Suresh main hometown should be printed as parmar_rajkot or Main hometown should be printed as rajkot. So please help me to understand whats going on here.

Have you read our? Suresh main hometown remains "rajkot" as you do not change $main::hometown, "parmar_rajkot" is assigned to $parmar::hometown. Main hometown is printed as "parmar_rajkot", because the variable $hometown does not alias $main::hometown, but $parmar::hometown, as that's the package where you used our for the last time.
