Thank you all.

Actually - you need to use "require" instead of "use".  (similar - but not
the same)

It's also important to place a

1;

at the end of the file containing your subs.  (You'll get errors
otherwise..)

Here's an example:

----- begin sub_file.sub ------
#!/perl/bin

sub test {
        $x = shift;
        $y = shift;
        print "$y $x\n";
}
1;
----- end sub_file.sub ------

----- begin test_remote_sub.pl -----
#!/perl/bin

require "sub_file.sub";

test("world", "hello");
----- end test_remote_sub.pl -----


Hope this helps,
