[sf-perl] Scope of a variable

[nheller at silcon.com]

I'm trying to create a variable that is visible in multiple namespaces.
I tried declaring the variable using "our".
With use strict in effect, the code seems to treat the variable as a local
in each place that it's used.  IOW, it doesn't hold value from one
namespace to the next.
Can anybody tell me where I'm going wrong?
