Okay, that worked great until I added 'use strict vars'. Code now reads:
----
BEGIN {
$DEV_OR_PROD = 'dev';
$LIB_LOC = "path/" . $DEV_OR_PROD . "/lib";
}
use strict vars;
use lib "/foo/$LIB_LOC";
require 'file-to-include.pl';
print $LIB_LOC;
----
And returns:
----
Variable "$LIB_LOC" is not imported at test.pl line 6.
Global symbol "$LIB_LOC" requires explicit package name at test.pl line 6.
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at test.pl line 6.
----
Maybe I should've mentioned my use of 'strict vars' in the original
message, but I wanted to isolate the issue and didn't realize this would
come into play.
