Studio:Referring to global stride objects

The following variables are automatically injected when scripts are run in STRIDE Studio, and must be referred to:

$ascript
$studio
$reporter
$testSuite

In Perl, these variables must be qualified with the namespace (main::) in order for the script to run under strictures (invoked by including use strict in your script):

Automatic variable	Refer to as
$ascript	$main::ascript
$studio	$main::reporter
$reporter	$main::studio
$testSuite	$main::testSuite

Using use strict in scripts is recommended, as it catches a number of potential errors that might otherwise go undetected. However, if strictures are not used, these global variables may be referred to without the main:: qualification.
