Well ... if you mean something like
int Inc() {
static int cnt;
return cnt++;
}
then our() is not the right way to do that in Perl. the our() only
allows you to use the short name instead of $the::complete::one.
This is the way:
{
my $cnt=0;
sub Inc {
return $cnt++;
}
}
This way the variable is accessible only from the function and no
other code can tinker with it.
