See L<perlfunc/our>. This pragma will predeclare all the variables whose names are in the list, allowing you to use them under C<use strict>, and disabling any typo warnings for them. Unlike pragmas that affect the C<$^H> hints variable, the C<use vars> and C<use subs> declarations are not lexically scoped to the block they appear in: they affect the entire package in which they appear. It is not possible to rescind these declarations with C<no vars> or C<no subs>. Packages such as the B<AutoLoader> and B<SelfLoader> that delay loading of subroutines within packages can create problems with package lexicals defined using C<my()>. While the B<vars> pragma cannot duplicate the effect of package lexicals (total transparency outside of the package), it can act as an acceptable substitute by pre-declaring global symbols, ensuring their availability to the later-loaded routines.
