I went to perldoc.com ... is that not the same thing...if not, my bad...but
you gotta admit that is confusing perldoc on my machine is different from
perldoc.com...I prefer the nice html stuff rather than the crappy black bg
white text stuff. and hitting 'sp' and stuff like that to move through the
docs. what I am saying, is ... I tried, I admit, I tried for at least 15
minutes between my guesses which were like obj::var and maybe an obj::$var
and searching google.groups, and then perldoc....it really took me that long
before posting anything anywhere, but for such a simple question is it worth
more than that?!?

sweet :)

I thought you people could answer a theroretical question... I am sure some
people here could have...maybe just not you...If I posted the answer I
recieved elsewhere...you'd be suprised...I got no attitude...I got the post
that I wanted first, then a followup with something like you suggested...but
better....see....they realized the restriction from the title, so they
exported the var and then I could use it normally..now I never knew that
one...but it also fulfilled requirement (technically) but wouldn't have
worked for me....if you would have proposed that solution, then you would
have me on that point...but as it is, the words "var in module" refer to the
variable in the module that I want to "assign to" ... "from script". If you
don't agree, ask an english teacher.

hmm, I think that is one of the motto's of perl, no doubt I agree,
but that is not what these posts are about...you jumped to conclusions and
became hostile, now I have to speak up for myself...even the fact that you
misunderstood the question is beside the point. I wouldn't have said
anything...except perhaps to post the solution so others could google it and
not bother you all...except for the fact that you were so rude. Like I said
before. A curt but accurate answer would have been fine, but you chose to
give me wrong answer after wrong answer; and I am also not impressed with
your attitude.

okay you got me there, I'll be more specific...did you skip the
reading-comprehending part when you read the subject.

how to assign *to var in module* from script
what are you spinning my title now?!? this is too funny.

look, learn some english...I know they don't require alot for cs majors, but
this sentance is pretty easy, in fact, most hs students could tell you what
it ment....I think it might be all the prepositions in that phrase that are
causing you problems.

okay maybe you should check out the meaning of that sentance at
alt.english.usage and report back...I know what it means.

like I said ... you are batting like 0% here, not a hit yet.

sure I think you may just have accomplished your goal...If I ever post here
again, I will write a nice long post...I was trying to be terse, because
that is supposed to be good, but okay, I got it.

I don't know I guess I could have, but it was such a simple question...you
know...how to access var in module...easy right?
I am just asking syntax...didn't think it was such a big deal...

Yeah, but not abuse, a lecture, or whatever...I wanted help...if you could
have posted $mod::var="foo"; I would have posted "u da man"
and it would have been so simple. And have taken way less bandwith.

gratification, from being physically or emotionally abused."
