Hi,
I'm trying to get some variables to be global in scope.
I have declared a bunch of variables that I want to be accessible
throughout my program.
I have a module options.pm defined as:
<pre>
package options;
use strict;
use base qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT = qw(@BenefitsOptions %BenefitsOptions);
our @EXPORT_OK = qw();
our %BenefitsOptions = (
"Dental" => 1,
"Full" => 2,
"Base" => 3,
"Comm." => 4,
"END"
);
@BenefitsOptions = ();
1;
</pre>
and at the beginning of each of my CGI programs I have the line:
use options;
each program may access the variables defined in options.pm and may call
other .pm modules that also need to have access to those same options.pm
variables and those .pm modules might call another.pm modules that need
to access those same variables defined in options.pm.
I read the perlmod, perlobj, Exporter, perltoot and frankly, I'm now
more confused then ever.
I tried putting the variable declarations in a BEGIN block with no success.
I'm getting the error:
Global symbol "xx" requires explicit package name at module.pm line nn.
What is the best way to do this?
Vance
