The only benefit of using :: is if you only use a variable once or twice...
If you use multiple times over and over (ie. if it's inside a loop or something), its overhead will become larger than with the global equivelant.

Furthur more, Not all Tcl versions support namespaces, (Tcl7.6p2 for example), so global is the only method to use to retain compatibility.

Ok, I'm lazy. I can't be bothered typing "global blah blah" all the time. LOL

well, that was my point
instead of typing "$::botnick" 20 times, i type once "global botnick" and save me 2 chars every time i use the var

Na... I just like to declare a global variable
always do, when there is no global variable declared.

Seems useless, but gives the right majestic touch
to the procedure when you look at it.

lol @ that if its not needed then its not needed that simple its useless using unused code will only slow down the script and in the end if everyone starts codeing like that the whole bot :p, also a script is about functionality not how it looks lol just a pointer .. (well abit is so its more readable to other scripters but adding useless code will only make other scripters confused or make the script to messy)

The difference betwen "global botnick" and "$::botnick" is that the $botnick variable in the first case is called when the proc is started and in the second case it's called just when it's needed. If I recall corectly this has been discussed before.. long time ago.

i agree.
what's more: if you are using some global var several times in a proc, global saves you some chars to type

Yeah you can also use $::botnick any global variable with
two :: between their $ sign and name will run the procedure
and you wouldn't have to declar the global variable.

But if you have alot of global variables it makes the script
look messy, hence I always restrict myself to use this method.

What's with "global botnick" if you don't seem to be using it?
