Thanks for replying. I appreciate your input.

Yes you are right, I have the need to set a value to the variable in
the calling environment (my case happens to be a function within a
function), In fact I need to possibly initialize variables (since they
might not even exist) in the calling function. $GLOBALS etc. lead to
unwanted side effects because of the nature of the task at hand*.

P.S. *I realize this goes against the lean clean design theme, but the
task is one of conversion from one language to another :(
