Perl : Getopts and Strict -How to solve

How do I get past the error when using strict and GetOpts ?


Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Getopt::Std; 
 
# Process the command line options 
die "Usage: $0 -r <router> -u <username> -p <password> -e <enable password>\n" if (@ARGV < 6); 
 
exit if (!getopts('r:u:p:e:')); 
 
my $unam=$opt_u; 
my $psswd=$opt_p; 
my $epsswd=$opt_e; 
my $dev=$opt_r; 


print "$unam $psswd $epsswd $dev "



Quote:
/home/popeye> topt -r 10.10.10.10 -u popeye -p thesailorman
Global symbol "$opt_u" requires explicit package name at topt line 10.
Global symbol "$opt_p" requires explicit package name at topt line 11.
Global symbol "$opt_e" requires explicit package name at topt line 12.
Global symbol "$opt_r" requires explicit package name at topt line 13.
Execution of topt aborted due to compilation errors.
Thanks in advance

You need to declare the variables using use vars for it to work:
Code:
use vars qw($opt_u $opt_p ...);

Hi.

On my system:
Code:
OS, ker|rel, machine: Linux, 2.6.26-2-amd64, x86_64
Distribution        : Debian 5.0.8 (lenny, workstation) 
perl 5.10.0

We find:
Code:
NAME
       vars - Perl pragma to predeclare global variable names (obsolete)

-- perldoc vars
whereas from perldoc Getopt::Std
Code:
       Note that, if your code is running under the recommended "use strict
       'vars'" pragma, you will need to declare these package variables with
       "our":

           our($opt_x, $opt_y);

The former may work, I have often used the latter.

Learning to use perldoc can make one less dependent on others.

Good luck .. cheers, drl
