System: Sun Ultra 2, Solaris 7 (11/99)
Perl: 5.6.0
I have a series of related programs that need global definitions ($DOMAIN,
$ADMIN, $DBNAME, etc). My code looks something like this:
----------<g.pl>----------------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use DBI;
require "defs.pl";
print "Welcome to $DOMAIN, $ADMIN\n";
------------<defs.pl>------------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $DOMAIN="plexus.com";
my $ADMIN="Chuck";
--------------------------------
Of course, when I run g.pl I get the infamous,
Global symbol "$DOMAIN" requires explicit package name at ./g.pl line 7.
Global symbol "$ADMIN" requires explicit package name at ./g.pl line 7.
Execution of ./g.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
I've tried "my" and "local", but local just changes the error to complain
about an explicit package being required. I'm missing something basic.
How can I define these variables to be known in g.pl, h.pl, and other
programs that require defs.pl?
