49 | =head1 NAME
|
---|
50 |
|
---|
51 | vars - Perl pragma to predeclare global variable names (obsolete)
|
---|
52 |
|
---|
53 | =head1 SYNOPSIS
|
---|
54 |
|
---|
55 | use vars qw($frob @mung %seen);
|
---|
56 |
|
---|
57 | =head1 DESCRIPTION
|
---|
58 |
|
---|
59 | NOTE: For variables in the current package, the functionality provided
|
---|
60 | by this pragma has been superseded by C<our> declarations, available
|
---|
61 | in Perl v5.6.0 or later. See L<perlfunc/our>.
|
---|
62 |
|
---|
63 | This will predeclare all the variables whose names are
|
---|
64 | in the list, allowing you to use them under "use strict", and
|
---|
65 | disabling any typo warnings.
|
---|
66 |
|
---|
67 | Unlike pragmas that affect the C<$^H> hints variable, the C<use vars> and
|
---|
68 | C<use subs> declarations are not BLOCK-scoped. They are thus effective
|
---|
69 | for the entire file in which they appear. You may not rescind such
|
---|
70 | declarations with C<no vars> or C<no subs>.
|
---|
71 |
|
---|
72 | Packages such as the B<AutoLoader> and B<SelfLoader> that delay
|
---|
73 | loading of subroutines within packages can create problems with
|
---|
74 | package lexicals defined using C<my()>. While the B<vars> pragma
|
---|
75 | cannot duplicate the effect of package lexicals (total transparency
|
---|
76 | outside of the package), it can act as an acceptable substitute by
|
---|
77 | pre-declaring global symbols, ensuring their availability to the
|
---|
78 | later-loaded routines.
|
---|

---|
