Question

I have a file revs.pm:

my %vers = ( foo => "bar" );

And another file like importer.pl:

use revs;

How can I access %vers from importer.pl ?

Answer 1

Create a proper module and change the my keyword to our:

# revs.pm
package revs;

our %vers = ( foo => "bar" );

1; # Perl modules need to return a boolean "true" value.

# importer.pl
use revs;

print $revs::vers{foo} . "\n";
