49 | =head1 NAME |
| 50 | |
| 86a9aef2 |
51 | vars - Perl pragma to predeclare global variable names (obsolete) |
| c07a80fd |
52 | |
| 53 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
| 54 | |
| 55 | use vars qw($frob @mung %seen); |
| 56 | |
| 57 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| 58 | |
| 7eb43e02 |
59 | NOTE: For variables in the current package, the functionality provided |
| 60 | by this pragma has been superseded by C<our> declarations, available |
| 61 | in Perl v5.6.0 or later. See L<perlfunc/our>. |
| 86a9aef2 |
62 | |
| c07a80fd |
63 | This will predeclare all the variables whose names are |
| 64 | in the list, allowing you to use them under "use strict", and |
| 65 | disabling any typo warnings. |
| 66 | |
| 55497cff |
67 | Unlike pragmas that affect the C<$^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 | |
| 7a2e2cd6 |
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. |
