<P>NOTE: The functionality provided by this pragma has been superseded
by <A HREF="../lib/Pod/perlfunc.html#item_our"><CODE>our</CODE></A> declarations, available in Perl v5.6.0 or later. See
<A HREF="../lib/Pod/perlfunc.html#our">our in the perlfunc manpage</A>.</P>
<P>This will predeclare all the variables whose names are
in the list, allowing you to use them under ``use strict'', and
disabling any typo warnings.</P>
<P>Unlike pragmas that affect the <CODE>$^H</CODE> hints variable, the <CODE>use vars</CODE> and
<CODE>use subs</CODE> declarations are not BLOCK-scoped. They are thus effective
for the entire file in which they appear. You may not rescind such
declarations with <CODE>no vars</CODE> or <CODE>no subs</CODE>.</P>
<P>Packages such as the <STRONG>AutoLoader</STRONG> and <STRONG>SelfLoader</STRONG> that delay
loading of subroutines within packages can create problems with
package lexicals defined using <A HREF="../lib/Pod/perlfunc.html#item_my"><CODE>my()</CODE></A>. While the <STRONG>vars</STRONG> 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.</P>
<P>See <A HREF="../lib/Pod/perlmodlib.html#pragmatic modules">Pragmatic Modules in the perlmodlib manpage</A>.</P>
