I was bored so I looked through my module list for something that hasn't been updated in a while. your.pm hasn't been touched since 2001 and its still a good idea. So I just spiffied it up a little and released 1.00.
your.pm solves this problem:
require Some::Module;
$Some::Module::Global = 42;
Perl will warn you Name "Some::Module::Global" used only once: possible typo and the usual work around is often something weird like $Some::Module::Global = $Some::Module::Global = 42. Rare but annoying and the work arounds are odd and varied.
Long ago there was a move to patch vars.pm to accept fully qualified variables but it didn't go through in. So I hacked up your.pm instead, stealing liberally from vars.pm's magic. With your.pm you can explicitly declare that you're going to use someone else's variables at compile time so Perl doesn't think you typo'd.
require Some::Module;
use your qw($Some::Module::Global);
$Some::Module::Global = 42;
Simp.
no warnings qw( once );
?
