The problem here is that the our statement is inside of the lexical
scope of the require. You need to add
our ($home_directory, $other_variable, $etc); #preferred method
or
use vars qw/$home_directory $other_variable $etc/; #needed for
Perl versions older than 5.6
to your code to tell the current scope those variables exist. Another
option you be to use the fully qualified names:
print "$main::home_directory\n";
but that defeats the purpose of strict, so don't do that.
