As an aid to catching implicit references to package variables you can use
the pragma
use strict 'vars';
then any variable reference must be declared correctly.
If you try and use a variable which hasn't been declared then a compilation
error occurs.
This is very handy if you have mis-spelt variable names etc etc.
I am only a beginner myself so you might get a better explanation later.
Good practice to use it.
