You have a number of options. My prefered one is to do this: (options.pl) sub &get_options { my %options; $options{'Some config variable'} = "la"; $options{'Something Else'} = "ba"; return \%options; } 1; (main.cgi) require options.pl; my %options = %{&get_options}; Your mileage may vary. May I suggest you read the perlfunc entry for require (type 'perldoc -f require' at the command line, or go to http://www.perldoc.com) Hope this helps _Pete -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ;;($_='Yw_xUabcdtefgdijktljkotiersjkUzxT yvlkbfdtcierstajogvPruntRshackRJelov')=~ y&/RTUv;wxYz$&/ ~'/;$=();$&&&eval&&print -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
