Howdy, I read in an earlier email that some people put _ in front of variables/function/etc to show that they are "important and should be handled by the program only" and it said that some "modules enforce this"
I guess what I'm getting at is: If my module exports variables can I make it so they can't be changed? IE use MyStuff qw($_joe $_mama); # now they should have $_joe and $_mama exported from the module. print "$_joe $_mama\n"; # ok my $joe = $_joe; # ok $joe =~ s/\W//g; # ok $_joe = "new value"; # bad - not allowed - maybe give warning? $_mama =~ s/\W//g; # bad - not allowed - maybe give warning? If so hwo do I do it or what module protects its variables in this way so I can look at it's code for an example or documentation???
