I've recently been working on a small web-based interface for my database
schemas, so that the developers can update the models, and have found it very
useful to do:
require ("./dbconnect.pl"); # a shared connect script
our $dbh = dbconnect();
That let's me declare my db connection once, and have it available to all my
subroutines and to the other two scripts that I require() in...
Remember to make use of your 'our', 'my' and 'local' variable declarations...
