I have a some code that will be used in a number of my scripts, I know that if I have a sub in a script I can call that piece of code as many times as required from the same script but how do I make this sub vailable to other scripts I have written.

What you will ultimately want to do is move on to creating your first Perl Module.
I have my general rant on PM's at:
<http://www.wetware.com/drieux/CS/lang/Perl/PM/>
it of course suggests that you visit <http://www.wetware.com/drieux/CS/Proj/PID/>
where I show how to use h2xs, where it show you at <http://www.wetware.com/drieux/CS/Proj/PID/#TheTypeScript> the output of the h2xs and the basic form of a perl module that it will create.
you will of course want to read
perldoc perlsub Perl subroutines
perlmod Perl modules: how they work
perlmodlib Perl modules: how to write and use
perlmodinstall Perl modules: how to install from CPAN
the other strategy is to go with perl's OO-ish approach and that would start out a bit simpler in template form
package Foo::Bar;
use 5.006;
use strict;
use warnings;our $VERSION = '0.01';
sub new
{
my $type = shift;
my $class = ref($type) || $type;
my $self = {};
bless $self, $class;} # end of our simple new
#---------------------------------
# so that AUTOLOAD finds one here sub DESTROY {}
#
# your methods here
#1; # so that the 'use Foo::Bar' will know we are happy
