my problem is simple. i have a number of scripts on my server, and i would like all of them to initially run a function defined by me. however, it would be burdensome to write that function over for every script. creating a custom module, however, doesn't really seem that much easier. i have read the chapter on modules in Programming Perl, and i am still not sure about a few things. if i were to create my own module, what directory does it go in?
is there an easier way to import a single block of code into each script?
