The approach I use is to place everything in subroutines in a perl
module file. This is like a ".cgi" or ".pl" file, but has a ".pm"
extension and ends with a "1;" on the last line.
/www/karic/mystuff/global.pm
Then use the "use lib" directive to identify the directory.
use lib '/www/karic/mystuff';
use global;
I don't think that variable settings can be seen across files. They
must
be read from subroutines.
I hope this helps.
