You can't split your code up into libraries or modules and still maintain the same lexical scope. Each file has its own scope, seperate from the others. If your code currently relies on the scope being shared you're going to have to do some restructuring, either by changing the lexicals to globals (bad), reworking the code so that each function has what it needs passed to it as an argument, or moving to an OO model where your object has all of the data the functions (now methods) will need. Incidentally, the global variable method is how C accomplishes this. It's generally an indication of bad design when you involve too many globals.
