Passing Main script variables into Perl Modules

Question

I am writing a Perl script that is run by a user and makes use of the current Linux environment as variables and other variables as well. The environment settings may change and

Answer 1

The environment variables are accessible from anywhere in the global %ENV hash:

print $ENV{HOME};

If you are creating objects, they probably have some attributes (being the objects hashes, arrays or even inside out objects...) Just store the relevant values into the attributes, e.g.

my $obj = Some::Package->new( name    => 'Homer',
                              surname => 'Simpson',
                              city    => 'Springfield',
                              # ... 7 more
                            );
