scope of perlvars?

2002-07-18 Thread Nikola Janceski
I was wondering what the scope of perlvars (ie. $! and $?) are across modules? Here's my situation: In module: open file || return -1; In script: Can I use $! here? and will it contain the reason open didn't open (if it didn't) in the module? Would I need to export the $! from the module
