'my' variables are lexical to the enclosing block. Here, since the variables are declared in the MAIN package, outside of any block, they are global, or visible to all all blocks within the package MAIN.
Almost. They have file scope, they're global to the file. See Lexical scoping like a fox,
$ cat foo1.pl
my $foo = qq{i'm in main too ${\__FILE__}\n};
sub foo1 { print $foo; }
$ cat foo2.pl
my $foo = qq{i'm in main too ${\__FILE__}\n};
sub foo2 { print $foo; }
$ perl -e " require $_ for qw/ foo1.pl foo2.pl /; foo1(); foo2(); "
i'm in main too foo1.pl
i'm in main too foo2.pl

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).
