Right, I have facing the same problem too... and I just use this method to
overcome :
# globalVars.pl
use strict;
sub tellPath
{ my ($request) = @_;
my %GlobalVars;
$GlobalVars{PathA} = '/usr/bin/perl/';
$GlobalVars{PathB} = '/usr/home/';
.........
if ($request) { return $GlobalVars{$request} }
else { return %GlobalVars }
}
# Main.pl
use strict;
require "globalVars.pl";
my $pathA = tellPath('PathA');
my %AllPaths = tellPath( );
Somthing like that =)
But I think that should be a smarter way to deal with.
How would the list say ?
Rgds,
Connie
