Modularizing in this case means making those .pl scripts that you're
including into actual modules (.pm scripts) so that they are in separate
namespaces, and you don't them stomping all over each other's memory. For
now, you're not having problems, but it's a guarantee that you eventually
will have problems setting up your scripts the way you have them now. I
know -- not long ago I wrote a web site management program using requires
all through it -- I didn't know how to make a Perl module at the time. I'm
in the process of re-writing the whole entire program. I learned the hard
way that when you don't set things up in a safe way, you leave yourself
open to all sorts of problems.
As for your problem at hand, are you sure that the two scripts you include
do not change STDOUT in any way? They may be redirecting your gif to the
log file.
