For a practical example: The only time I ever needed to use "our" is when I use the "require script" method as a means of importing some configuration variables. Say I have a bunch of scripts which all share the same configuration variables. I create a single script "my_config" with all the variables defined in it. Like this: ######################################################## #my_config $customer_directory = 'customers'; $server_address = 'zentara.zentara.net/~zentara'; #basename only $secure_server_address = 'https://zentara.zentara.net/~zentara'; $cgi_directory = '/cgi-bin/store'; #relative to html docs dir $imagedir= '/home/zentara/public_html/store/images'; ####################################################### Then in all the other scripts I do this: ########################################################## our($customer_directory,$server_address,$secure_server_address, $cgi_directory,$imagedir); require ./my_config; ############################################################# -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
