Well, here's an answer:
I started with: require "/Includes/28ESP.pl"; and that didn't work.
Then I tried all the other combinations you all were kind enough to suggest.
Still no luck.
Finally, I discovered that both of these will work: Hooray!
my $mylib = 'includes/28ESP.pl';
require $mylib;
OR
require 'includes/28ESP.pl';
In view of the email conversation this started, it is intriguing to note
that these statements work with single quotes and no delimiter or . in front
of the includes. On XP Pro, SP2, that is....

This work's fine (if on smae drive) :
my $mylib = '/includes/28ESP.pl';
require $mylib;
Make sure the required script returns a true (eg: 1;).
Add the <drive>: if not on the same drive.
