Hello. I have been writing and maintaining a web-based intranet application for some time, primarily written in PHP with the backend written in POSIX shell. The pages access a postgreSQL database and I use a bit of JavaScript to make things look nice.
In effect, it is a typical DB driven app. to help out with system administration, etc. Lately, I've been teaching myself Perl and have decided to convert some of this to that language to assist in learning. So far, it has worked out nicely and I've begun to access modules like Write::Excel, CGI.pm, Pg.pm, etc. However, I am trying to keep this site as modular and easy to maintain as possible and cannot seem to find the right equivalent for a basic PHP "include" or "require" function. I use several variables that stay the same throughout the scripts, and would like to host them in a separate file. Sifting through ideas on this I've come across: SSI, Embperl, Mason, and possibly creating modules to handle this. All seem like a bit of work, which isn't a problem, I just want to make sure that I'm not missing a simple, obvious way to make this happen! Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
