The require function is one of the standard ways of including code from another file. The use function (which uses require, but does a few other things) is another. You can also get similar functionality from the do function, but that is generally not a good idea. Just breaking up a large file into many small ones is a bad idea, especially if you are sharing variables between the files. If your program is too large then try to break some of the functionality out into modules instead. Keep each module independant of the others and the main program. This will make it easier to make changes later and you may even find that you can reuse some of the modules in other projects. You can read more about modules in perldoc perlmod or http://perldoc.perl.org/perlmod.html. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
