Re^6: global var

[pryrt]

Rather than trying in your application, make a SSCCE. I got one working in 10min, and I don't usually export scalars, so don't have much experience with it.

pm1187349.pm

package pm1187349;
use warnings;
use strict;

use Exporter 'import';
our @EXPORT_OK = qw($someScalar someFunction);

our $someScalar = "Scalar Text";
sub someFunction {
    print "I am some function\n";
}

pm1187349_a.pl

use warnings;
use strict;
use lib '.';

# don't import anything into the main:: namespace; must prefix everyth
+ing with pm1187349::
use pm1187349;

# use them
pm1187349::someFunction();
print "someScalar = ${pm1187349::someScalar}\n";

pm1187349_b.pl

use warnings;
use strict;
use lib '.';

# import both a function and a scalar variable, so you don't need to p
+refix with pm1187349::
use pm1187349 qw(someFunction $someScalar);

# use them
someFunction();
print "someScalar = ${someScalar}\n";
