If you need to call a function in another Perl script, you must "require" that script in your program. You can then call the desired function. Make sure the script you wand to require is in the same directory or you will have to push its directory into the @INC array. Here is an example.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w push(@INC, "/usr/home/aaa/"); # only needed if someScript.pl is not in the @INC dir, which includes the local dir require 'someScript.pl'; &someScriptFunction; Daryl J.

If you want to run an external script and want to use the output in your program use the backquotes (@output = `/usr/bin/command.pl`;). However, if you mean that you want to call a function in another script then you need to take a look at modules (perldoc perlmod). -- Today is Sweetmorn the 33rd day of Discord in the YOLD 3168 Missile Address: 33:48:3.521N 84:23:34.786W -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
