ok I have the program working again.
but how do I get a var from the package?
and the cgi calls the var in the package like this
my $V = $main::{$Player{Location} . "::"}{Options};
What does that return to you? A glob. And a glob is like a reference to
every data type. To get the scalar variable found in the glob, you have
to dereference the glob as if it were a scalar:
my $g = $main::{$Player{Location} . "::"}{Options};
my $value = $$g;
or, as one line:
my $value = ${ $main::{$Player{Location} . "::"}{Options} };
