Using external global variable

[Capellone]

Hello,

In "script1.pl" I have a global object variable:
my $startup = new Startup($dir);
In "module.pm" I want to use variable $startup. I have strict declaration enabled. How to do this?

It's considered bad form for a module to poke about in it's calling script's namespace. You would be better having a function exported from module.pm which sets it's own copy of $startup or pass it as an argument on the [tt]use[/tt] line.

Yours,

fish
