Does global procedures contain local variables?

[Buexe]

I am no variable guru, but after my understanding variables in a global proc are local, unless you define them as global variable so that you can use the output in other (global) procedures.
Hope this helps.

Buexe is right.

If global procedures could not have local variables, every little variable you had to define in such a procedure would end up in the global variable namespace, and you'd have a huge mess!!

Not to mention that you could then never have two global procedures that differently defined a variable named $x, for example.

Thanks both for your answers.

It's good to know I don't have to use the global procedure only as a mean to call other local procedures containing the variables, thus preventing the huge mess in the global variable namespace. :)
