Question

I have the following global in variable in file_1.pl, in package main:

package main;

my $var = -1;

If I need to update this variable from another perl file, what is the way of doing it? I tried:

$main::var = 1

But it did not work.

What is the correct way of doing it?

Thank You!

Answer 1

you have to declare the variable with our otherwise it would be considered as lexical variable so change it like

our $var = -1;
