Global not always global?

[D. L. Fox]

I am moving my site to a new host. Although I thought I had it 
originally setup in a portable fashion, I have had to make changes in my 
code to allow for a different environment. One problem I have had is this:

At the top of global.asa (not inside any subs) I have the line:

our ($base_url, $Form); # running on perl 5.8.5


inside the Script_OnStart event I have:

$base_url = 'http://url/to/site';


Correct me if I'm wrong: This scalar should be global to all the scripts 
on my site, yes?

I only have one StateDir and Global directory. I'm not trying to run 
more than one ASP application, or share anything. Just one website 
running with one global.asa, etc. It is still working fine on my old 
host this way.

As soon as I try to use $base_url in another script, I get the following 
error:

error including default.inc, not compiled: maybe use strict error: 
Variable "$base_url" is not imported at /home/xxxxxx/asp/default.inc 
line 22. , /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Apache/ASP.pm line 1521

In .htaccess I have StatINC set to 1 until I can get all the bugs worked 
out. Does that have any affect on this?
