I think 'use' is what you're looking for. But just in case,
perldoc -f require
perldoc -f use
perldoc perlmod
On the last one, I would recommend reading the first section and then
skipping down to the "Perl Modules" section. Then you can go back over the
whole thing. Just to give you a taste of how modules work, here's a sample
..pm file. Don't forget the 1 at the end.
#################################
# Sample.pm
package Tim::Sample; #assumes the file is at .../site/lib/Tim/
sub InsertSpaces{
my @text = split //,$_[0]; #get characters of function parameter
return join(' ',@text); #return string made of chars w/spaces between
}
1
#################################
#################################
# Sample.pl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Tim::Sample;
my $text = Tim::Sample::InsertSpaces("Hello World!");
print $text;
#################################
This prints "H e l l o W o r l d !".

Subject: Include files in PERL
Gidday from downunder,
When writing PHP if I want to an include I type include("filename.php");
Is there a similar command in PERL, does require do the job? In my mailing
list application I re-use numerous functions and would like to pop these in
a function library and include them on every page.
