Hi Ruthie
I presume you're writing a module rather than a simple script?
There are two ways around this: you can do what it says, and give it an explicit
package name. For instance, if you're writing perl/lib/Local/Package.pm you can
refer to it as
Local::Package::@ISA
throughout. The other way is to pre-delare the global variables in the package,
with
use vars qw(@ISA);
which then lets you use the identifier without a preceding package name.
HTH,
Rob
