No I cant use require. Let me tell you why.
The actual application sits inside Mailscanner Daemon on the SMTP
server.
Depending on the email recipient , I wish to call a particular ruleset
which is stored in the user specific perl file.
There may be thousand diff email recipients with different users
for eg
{
$recipient = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; # This will come from the MTA
$scriptname = get_scriptname($recipient);
# if I do require here
require "$scriptname";
# HERE LIES THE PROBLEM
somefunc($arg1,$arg2,$arg3) # somefunc is defined in $scriptname
}
now for the next mail , the main process remains same so somefunc is
already defined. If $scriptname is different I will require a new perl
file with the same function somefunc() .. is that OK.
Also I cannot go on requiring files again and again, my process will hog
all the memory then.
Thanks
Ram
