Thanks. I tried using require "\\includes\\28ESP.pl";
But got an error message of: Can't locate \includes\28ESP.pl in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) The includes directory is in the same path as the code, along with the images directory that contains gifs and jpegs for the site. Douglass N.

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?
