It makes no difference whether $VAR is declared with 'my' or not. In either case C's func() *can't* see it. You need to pass $VAR as an argument to func().
Thanks, buy this isn't quite right.
Actually, it apparently isn't anywhere *near* right.
Thanks for correcting me so politely.
When I finish wiping the egg off my face (yet again) I'll take a closer look and see just exactly what I've been missing out on wrt 'get_sv'.

I dont *want* to pass anything, I just want to use it since it should be in scope, I just dont know how to grab it inside perl.
Yep .... understood .... now. Didn't know this was possible - always assumed it wasn't.
I still maintain that answering questions is a good way to learn .... damned pity it has to get so embarrassing every now and then.
Cheers, Rob
