Theresa, one way to go about this is to create your own module which has the connection details in it (or reads from ENV/external XML file etc) and also has your data access subroutines. Then instantiate instances of this modules whereever you need to.

I would like to put the environment variables and the connection routine into a separate subroutine, so I don’t have to keep re-copying the code. What’s the best way to go about this?
