Jason,
Some things you can try...
(a) use a style sheet.. (.css file) and use that to set font and background color
properties. This is obviously a non-Perl solution.
(b) put these variables into a configuration file, and have each of your files read
that configuration file..
config file would contain,
FONT_COLOR=000000
BACKGROUND_COLOR=555555
then the code would read it into a hash,
open(CONFIG,"myconf.file") or die "Can't open config";
my %colors;
while(<CONFIG>) {
chomp;
my @values = split('=',$_);
$colors{$values[0]} = $values[1];
}
and then use the variables in each of your files...
ie: $colors{'TEXT_COLOR'} and so on...
(c) just have a separate file called variables.pl (or whatever you want),
define the variables you want inside it...
$font_color = "#000000";
and then in each of the other source files, pull the variables.pl file in with a
require..
require 'variables.pl';
BTW, the third method is how you would define global variables in Perl, I
believe..
Pick whichever works for you :o), I'd personally prefer either the style sheet or
configuration file approach...
Hope this helps..
