As I mentioned previously in this thread, C is able to share its variables between include files because they are global variables. In this sense, Perl can do the same thing with use or require as C does with include. > The text file is the compilation (lexical) unit, and the only way to > import lexical symbols is via the module (package) mechanism. The file is indeed a new lexical scope. However, you cannot import or export lexically-scoped variables (symbols isn't the appropriate term in this context). You can only import and export package globals. I'm sensing some confusion between lexical and global variables. Are you certain what the differences are?
