Thanks, Frankie,
But I am only trying to maintain a perl program
written by someone else, and as readers of this newsgroup will know I
strongly deprecate such unplanned non-integrated jack-in-the-box,
unsafe languages as perl in favout of such beuatiful creations as, say,
gprolog for Linux or Windows or Visual Prolog for Windows. Languages
with inbuilt AI for me!
Yes, I should rewrite the troels.rsync programs,
but lack present motivation to get started <g> <hint, hint,
hint>.
[Apologies to Anne for thr HTML}.

Yes,
Nowdays, I give all my external files their own
package namespace.
For my config files, I put a sub in it.. a sub
contains all the config variables, and returns all the config values,
which I assign to the variables in the main program.
Ie (in the mainscript file body):
#!/use/bin/perl -T
use strict;
use config_package;
That way the scope is whatever you want it to be..
For that matter, you could pull the lot into a scoped
hash and use them as you need them.
As an added benefit, its very mod_perl friendly.

Franki

That clue gave the solution.
But:
1. Syntax is
require ("<filename>");
2. Unfortunately, my $whatever definitions do not survive
transition into the required (included) file.
In my case that was easily overcome by shifting those definitions
into the required file, which means they probably don't survive
transition back into the main program, which is in my case, rather
good (the reduced scope is safer).
Thanks!

Subject: [expert] Perl question - include?
I've searched the perl man pages fruitlessly, so let me ask of all you
perl enthusiasts:
How do you do such a simple thing as to include another perl source file
at some point in a perl source file?
No, "include" doesn't work.
