I am trying to experiment with using typglobs using the following code:

#!/indigoperl/bin/perl
#use warnings;
#use strict;
our ($spud,@spud);
$spud = "I am a scalar";
@spud = qw(I am an array);
sub spud
{
	print "I am a sub routine;";
}
*potato = *spud;

print $potato;

The code above works fine as expected, but when I enable the strict pragma, it doesn't compile and dies with the error:

Quote:

Variable "$potato" is not imported at refs.pl line 13.
Global symbol "$potato" requires explicit package name at refs.pl line 13.
Execution of refs.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

This is probably because i havent declared the lexical variable $potato, so my question is can typeglobs be used with the strict pragma enabled and if so how?

Sure they can but you still have to declare your variables.

(Toggle Plain Text)

#!/indigoperl/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
our ($spud,@spud,$potato);
$spud = "I am a scalar";
@spud = qw(I am an array);
sub spud
{
	print "I am a sub routine;";
}
*potato = *spud;

print $potato;
