Yes.

No. Globals are in the symbol table and can be accessed from
*outside* the file. File scoped lexicals can only be accessed
from *inside* the file.

Yes.
: what is an eval?
A perl function. Read perlfunc or type "perldoc -f eval" from
the command line (DOS box).
: : "our" is a declaration that allows you to use a global
: : (symbol-table) variable name without a package qualifier when
: : "use strict" is in effect.
:
: from what you say "our" is used in the main program
It can be used in any file. The main program or a module which
uses the "strict" module.
: so I don't have to declare them again in the mod?
No. You should be importing the module subroutines into the
"main" namespace. So your program will "think" the subroutine and
variables are from "main".
If you are not using "strict" you don't need "our".

Yes. I showed an example in the "Need help with making a
Modules" thread.
