Try using the following (I haven't tested this), since things seem a little different on Windows:
Require "\\Includes\\XYZ.pl"; In my experience, I've found Windows prefers the normal backslash to the *NIX-preferred forward slash. If that doesn't work, perhaps try including a lib path and then requiring the file, like so (again, I haven't tested this): Use lib "\\Includes"; Require "XYZ.pl"; Chad Uretsky Lead Network and Security Engineer, IT | NetIQ Corporation -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug Loud Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 8:29 AM To: Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com Subject: Using canned subroutines with includes Morning - For many years, in the unix/perl world I could set up a perl/cgi web page to use a bunch of subroutines that were available to my perl based web pages with this command: require "/Includes/XYZ.pl"; where XYZ.pl contained several subroutines to be used in the web page as needed. In the windows world, however, when I try the same thing, I get an error telling me that the system "Can't locate /Includes/XYZ.pl in @INC ". Currently, the XYZ.pl file does live in the Includes directory, and looks like this (for now): ######################################################################### # XYZ Includes ######################################################################### sub good_word { $fVerify = 0; ($login_name, $password) = @_; foreach $record (@file_info){ ($file_login, $file_name, $file_pw, $file_company, $file_code)=split(/\|/,$record); if ($file_login eq $login_name && $file_pw eq $password){ $code_name = $file_name; $code_company = $file_company; $code_level = $file_code; $fVerify = 1; } } } Can't require and an includes directory be used in Windows based Perl?
