How are you writing the require files? It sounds like you're trying to
run the subroutine code by requiring the files.
The way to write them is to put the subroutines definitions into the
file, require the file *just once*, and call the subroutines by name.
Something like this:
===> mySubs.pl <===
sub f2c {
return ($_[0] - 32) * 5 / 9;
}
sub c2f {
return $_[0] * 9 / 5 + 32;
}
===> myScript <===
require 'mySubs.pl';
my $celsius = f2c(73);
my $fahrenheit = c2f(30);
# etc...
My apologies if I'm misunderstanding you.
