I think you are looking for Perl modules, which lets you create a file
with commonly called subroutines and variables and share them amongst
multiple scripts for code re-use.
You'll want to look at
perldoc perlmod
which is documentation on this very topic.
And I really recommend you get a good book on Perl so you can find this
information yourself and have a good reference to prop up in your lap
while you code. _Learning Perl_ is a good start -- a brand new version of
it just came out and one of its authors haunts this very mailing list.
