Ok,
I went to google and did some more searching, this time just about the
my var.
I wrote this for an example of BAD use of $variable based on the
article I found.
I believe this demonstrates the coding in my website currently online.
lol, which is failing periodically.
---------------------------------------------------------------
my $i = 1;
my $variable;
if($i > 0)
{
$variable = "Hello World!";
print_it();
}
sub print_it()
{
print "$variable<br>";
$variable=1;
}
{
my $variable = "True";
print "$variable<br>";
}
print "$variable<br>";
---------------------------------------------------------------
When I run it for the first time I get
Hello World!
True
1
Every time after that I get
1
True
Hello World!
Until the process dies and it runs in a new thread.
I believe this is the demonstration of my problem right? I'm pretty
sure I understand now.
Thanks for the tips mate! I'll post this as my fix in the forum.

Thank you for the response.
I am sure going to start using strict.
But one thing, why doesn't my example of NOT using strict, my, our, or
local ever fail.
Shouldn't it confuse the $html var with the value of the $html var in
the parent file.
Any ideas on what kind of an example will demonstrate to me the
variable problem I'm having in a small test program. I'm trying to
make a program that will show the effects of not using strict and
declaring the $vars. I want to be able to get it to mess up, and then
declare the $vars and see it work differently.
I am trying to do this because I do not understand how the $vars are
treated differently when not declared.
Thanks a lot!

It might be that your variable aren't scoped properly.
Try:
use strict;
my $variable
or
our $variable
to keep the variable scoped to the packages they're in.

Hello Everyone,
I have an issue that I am working on. I always ask questions that I
have to a forum before writing the list just in case someone in the
forum knows the answer. Usually I don't get any responses.
I started this thread,
http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1104388&page=1
Will someone take a look and see if my last question can be
answered. The first two posts will provide context for my situation.
My handle is perl21
I was following some advice from a fellow named Fish.
In my last post in that thread I ask how to make my mod_perl script
mess up the variable assignment of $html without using my or local
Thank you,
