The following variables are automatically injected when scripts are run in 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.
