This seems to suggest that inside the function, you have to declare SOMEVAR as a global variable: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10588317/python-function-global-variables Not sure if also declaring it as global near the top of you're program makes a difference, but then I don't use Python very much. (Nor do I often use global variables, so I'm not even sure what would be the correct way to do this in Perl.)
