Re: Inheritance and package variables

in reply to Inheritance and package variables

Using the fully qualified name of the package variable should accomplish what you want to do, if I am understanding you correctly.

Fully qualify a variable by adding the package it belongs to to any instances of its use.

$package::varname
$DBI::errstr
$main::var

Note that any variables declared with my don't belong to any package and so could not be accessed like this.
