Why yes, you can use a module with an argument. Why, just the other day I yelled at
one of my
coworkers "use DBI.pm, you fool!" :)

Now, I'm not sure exactly what you intended when you used the word 'argument', but
what I *think*
you're looking for is something similar to the following example. This is from a
CGI::Safe module
I wrote (but highly edited here):
################################
package CGI::Safe;
################################
$VERSION = 1.0;
use strict;
use Exporter;
use vars qw/ @ISA @EXPORT_OK /;
@ISA = qw/ CGI Exporter /;
@EXPORT_OK = qw/ get_upload /;
(For those familiar with OO programming, I allow a method to be exported *and* used as
a function
as this duplicates the look-and-feel of the CGI.pm module).
In the example above, I can use this module in another script as follows:
use CGI::Safe qw/ get_upload /;
This will import the "get_upload" function. Only by putting subs or variable names in
the
@EXPORT_OK array can I import them into another module by explicitly stating them when
I "use" the
module in question.
If that's a bit confusing, let me know and I'll try to be more clear.
Cheers,
Curtis Poe
