I take it you mean besides cutting and pasting the text? I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. If your subroutine is not part of a "compiled" script, why not just copy the subroutine's code into your script?
As for an easy way to compile a perl script, there are two well-known products for doing this: perl2exe http://www.perl2exe.com, and ActiveState's perlapp, which is part of the Perl Dev Kit (I'm not sure if you can buy it separately) http://www.activestate.com. Both of them basically just incorporate the perl interpreter and all required modules into an executable, so they can be fairly large (1+MB) compared to the original scripts. I've been using perlapp for a while now and have no complaints. If you cust want to call one perl script from another, though, you can just use the system() command or backticks. Again, I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but I hope that helps. -----Original Message----- From: bob ackerman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 5:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: sharing subroutines is there a way to share uncompiled perl scripts? that is, to include the subroutines of one script file into another script file. failing that, can i easily compile a perl script and use it in a script? why am i having trouble figuring this out? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
