Using “
our” will make your code incompatible with old perls.File-scoped “
our” is OK, but lexically scoped “our” is bad; see Ben Tilly’s rant.Note that if you only need to change a few globals once (eg. set up
@ISAand$VERSIONwhen your class is loaded), then you can simply move those bits above the “use strict” line. Then you need neither “our” nor “use vars”.Reply to This
