Jaap has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm currently using Doxygen which creates a .pm file that looks like this: 
$doxydocs=
{
  classes => [
  ],
  namespaces => [
  ],
  files => [
    {
      name => 'agc_1fs.hdf.c',
      includes => [
...

[download]
These are the first 10 lines, so there is no package declaration or anything.

How do i get to it's $doxydocs variable in a strict and warnings enabled way?

    The only solution I can think of is something like 
    use strict;
use warnings;

my $doxydocs = do "dirty.pm";

      If i do that, $doxydocs contains the value "1", and i still can't access the data. Even when i do this: 
      my $a = do "$ARGV[0]/DoxyDocs.pm";
print Dumper($doxydocs), "\n";

      [download]
      I get the error that $doxydocs is empty.

        In your example, $doxydocs is in fact empty, but $a is not. Try print Dumper($a)."\n";

    You require the file as usual, but before you do, you predeclare the variable(s), namely $doxydocs, using vars or our.
