Afternoon, Bill -
Tried using your suggested:
open IN, "/Includes/28ESP.pl" or die "open: $!"; print <IN>; close IN;
System said "open: No such file or directory at ....."
BTW, this is all happening in Windows XP Pro, SP2. But the 28ESP.pl file is
there in the includes directory. Actually, the require works if I place
28ESP.pl file in the same directory as the code. The includes directory
lives right next to the images directory in the same path, and the images
directory files work fine.
Yes, I put a 1; at the end of the 28ESP.pl file. Thanks.

Works for me. You have to be on the same drive for it to work without the
drive letter. You could also try using 'do' instead of 'require';
Try taking the same path and doing an open on it to make sure it's legit.
open IN, "/Includes/XYZ.pl" or die "open: $!"; print <IN>; close IN;

You need to add a 1; to the end of your required file.
