Multiple Sourse files
|
|
| makobutm@gmail.com 2005-09-20, 7:01 pm |
| Hello all,
Is it possible to have multiple sourse files in a perl program like
in PHP? PHP uses "include(script.php)" to run the code in script.php.
But the best way would be like in C where one can run or use a function
in a different sourse file as long as its listed in the header file.
Does perl have a feature like that?

| Do a google for perl modules ... normally on your system if you have
perl installed ... the are normally named <filename>.pm.
The first line in a perl module is normally "1;" (after the magic cookie
that is).
You can import/use them like any other perlmodule :-)
Hope this helps,
Jim

What good is google going to do? There are far more specific resources
to point to.

That much is true.

No, the *last* line of a perl module is usually "1;", but that's a rather
irrelevant technicality. It's certainly not among the first things someone
ought to learn about Perl modules.

What on earth are you talking about? There are no magic cookies in
Perl modules.
> You can import/use them like any other perlmodule :-)
We were talking about any Perl module. Recursive definitions sometimes
work, recursive explanations never do.

I'm afraid it doesn't.
To the OP: Start with reading perlmod (type "perldoc perlmod" to see it).

Many different ways, depending upon what you are trying to achive:
perldoc -f do
perldoc -f require
perldoc -f use
perldoc perlmod
I am sure I missed a few.

Yes, it does. Look up the Perl keywords 'do', 'require', and 'use' and
read about Perl modules in 'perldoc perlmod'.
