Hi Guys,
I was wondering if one of you perl guys out there could throw some
light on this question.
I have a perl script with a config file. Recently it seemed to me that
it would be better to make the config file a perl fragment, (it just
does some variable assignments) and use a "do" statement to read it in.
Unfortunately it messes with my declarations. If I declare the
variables anywhere in a "my" declaration the assignments don't work.
If I don't declare anything it all works OK. I like to work under
"strict" but this doesn't any work more. Something about packages? I
never really understood about packages. Do I have to declare these
local or something else?
Is there a debug command to show all variables and what type they are?
Kim
