MySQL Difference between use vars and our variable in PERL

What is the difference between defining the global variable through our and using use vars ?
Is the variable created using our goes beyond even package scope?
Thanks in Advance !!!

from perldoc:
Quote:
our associates a simple name with a package variable in the current package for use within the current scope. When use strict 'vars' is in effect, our lets you use declared global variables without qualifying them with package names, within the lexical scope of the our declaration. In this way our differs from use vars , which is package scoped.

'vars' has been considered deprecated for years now. 'our' should be used unless your using an old version of perl or legacy perl programs.
