You could put it in another file called foo.pl and then put this in your main perl script: require 'foo.pl'
You'll need to be sure you @INC contains the path to foo.pl. Also, I suspect you actually want to read these keys from a file (or other persistence mechanism), but that's another story. -David Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T -----Original Message----- From: kc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2007 09:52:03 To:beginners@perl.org Subject: sourcing one perl file from another Hi Perl gurus, I've a question, and I was wondering if anyone could I've a perl program, and I'm trying to make it tidier. I have a huge file of a array of variables, for initialization, something like this: $key1[64]="0xc120718a1ccce7f8"; $key2[64]="0xeadf28cb82020921"; $key1[128]="0xaf503224b6cff0639cf0dc310a4b1277"; $key2[128]="0x3e1fcbd4e91ca24bb276914de3764cdf"; etc etc Currently, they're all in the huge perl script file as the perl code that uses it. I was hoping to separate this out to another file. Is there any way for my mail perl file to read this file? I was thinking of using a .pm file, but I was wondering if there was any easier way?
