Greetings. I am afraid this is rapidly becoming less than relevant, however..

That's a pure perl issue. Please proceed to the perl > lists/groups/monks for further discussion. This is a bit of a surprise.... the following, in fact, runs just fine: --Foo.pm-- package Foo; use strict; use warnings; require Exporter; our @ISA = qw(Exporter); our @EXPORT_OK = ( qw( $foo ) ); our @EXPORT = qw(); our $VERSION = '0.01'; our $foo=1; 1; --usefoo.pl use strict; use warnings; use Foo qw($foo); print "foo is $foo\n"; $ perl usefoo.pl foo is 1 This is according to my instinct - and practice: I have been using this idiom, under strict, for the longest time and the interpreter has never raised an eyebrow about it. BTW, this also works with @IMPORT (not only with @IMPORT_OK). I cannot give you a doc pointer that explicitely says that it must be so (or why), though. Cheers, alf
