After using "our" on the variables in the required file, I decided to "use
strict;" on the file that calls the required file. Running the script from
the command line showed that the script wanted me to define the variables
again, with an error message like:
Global symbol <variable/list/hash name> required explicit package name at
line x.
I take it from this that I have to define any variables in the main script
that I want to use from the required script, even though I've declared them
in the required file using "our".
Thanks for your help,
Regards
Roland
