Import other perl files

[Robin Wilson]

I have a perl file which I would like to divide up into 2 perl files so that
the content is seperate

I created 2 files and then moves some variables into the other file but I
cannot work out how to include the second file

I thought the syntax was:

USE FILE.PL

but that's not working

Please can someone tell me the correct syntax

Thanks
Robin

use not USE. Case matters.

perldoc use

but that's not working

Reading the docs will tell you that.

You should also read:

perldoc perlmod

perldoc use

Do you mean perldoc -f use ?

Do you mean perldoc -f use ?

Of course. Thanks for catching that.

Keith Keller is a coward fit for killfiles.

I think what you want is: require './file.pl';
'use' looks for a proper module with the proper file extension in
particular locations.

Make sure the last statement of file.pl returns a true value. e.g. "1;"

It may be a real name. But it's not his name.

Keith Keller is a coward and a hypocrite who currys favour.
