Hi, I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm having a problem with understanding "our".
I get the idea of my, and also variable declared without a qualifier is visible to all packages/modules..also that $package::varname can be used to access a global variable in another package... But the more I read the camel book the more confused I get, especially about the lexical scoping of our..if it's lexically scoped how can it be global?? Does declaring "our $a" refer to a previously declared $a in another package/module, with the lexical scoping keeping it within a block of the current package? Any help in clearing the fog from my brain greatly appreciated... -- Richard Adams University of Edinburgh Kings Buildings, Mayfield Rd, Edinburgh EH9 3JR UK Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
