Home: Perl Programming Help: Advanced: require, use and global variable

scribouille Deleted May 9, 2001, 11:57 PM Post #1 of 3 (819 views) require, use and global variable Can't Post Hello, I have a strnge thing with my Perl program : a global variable (using strict), an instance of a class, is not visible in certains files in ".pl". Why, please ? About requires and uses : I have to specify the total path (even with use) in my main whereas, in the biblio. files in ".pl" or in the packqge in ".pm", I have to specify the relative path (thanks to use). i don't understand why... Thank's for your help

In order to use or require them into another file you must declare them with use vars qw ($var1 @var2); For the longer answer look to this blast from the past. About use/require directories. It could be that your main is trying to use or require a file that is not in a known directory and you would have to give the whole name. To see what directores are in the path you can type "perl -V" at the command prompt in a UNIX or DOS shell. The -V is for verbose and will tell you all kinds of stuff about your version of perl, but the last thing it tells you is the contents of the @INC which is the list of directories to look in when you use or require. If you have a directory with all your modules and it is not in your current directory or one in the @INC you can add it to the @INC with... use lib '/path/to/lib/dir'; -- Sun Sep 9, 2001 - 1:46:40 GMT, a very special second in the epoch. How will you celebrate?

I have already done it For the 1rst one : I declare my variable with use vars qw ($my_var). But, another thing, this variable id in fact an instance of a class and could not be seen in ".pl" files, containing functions... For the 2nd. one : i add the good path of my ".pl" and ".pm" files with lib, which can be viewed with the "-V" option in @INC... But I still have to specify the entirely path or the partial path following ".pm" or ".pl" files... Thanks...
