This sounds like a job for modperl.
probably, but I want to distribute the app I'm (re)doing and last time
I tried enabling mod_perl (on FC4) there were major issues.
Persumably you want to just take a lot of existing functions, stick
them in one script and have them available for other script to use.
Create a file such as "myfile.pm". In that file you need at least the
following:
======================
package myfile; # same name as myfile but without the .pm
require Exporter;
use strict;
use warnings;
our @ISA = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT = qw( functions_to_export here);
...
..
1; # has to end with a 1
=============================
The file needs to be in @INC or the current directory of the calling
script.
Thats all done.
The issue I have is this
The modules/scripts are setout as
big hash contains submit param value => script to run
subs run sequentially (3-4 steps)
From the script stub the first two stages run, but then the param gets
"lost" and reloads the initial script.
I have a couple of solutions that work I'm not happy with them, so
seems a good opportunity to get to grips with modules.

Good luck.
