Hello, You have required the file correctly but you can't export any variables in this file to the main script.Because all the variables in this file are not package variables,since you declare them using "my".For exporting successfully,you may need to declare them as Perl's package variables. Here if you only need the $dbh to be exported to the main script,you can write: our $dbh = $DBI->connect($dsn,$user,$pass); # replace "my" with "our" I think this could work.
