Thanks Robert! That is exactly what I was searching for. It's working I don't have any issues with that :), but I'd like to know something...can I make it work with "use strict"? Using your example would say: Global symbol "$home_directory" requires explicit package name at test.pl That appears even if "require" if over "use strict". Thanks!
