Hi,
the one way to use the config file is
1. Don't use my to declare variables inside the config file.
2. In the perl program just require the config file and the
variables and its values will be a available in the perl program.
3. use "require <filename>;" statement to use the subroutines of
the file named <filename> in some other program.
Rgds,
vinai

Subject: Reading config files
Hi All
I have a main Perl program that needs to read in a config file that just
sets some variable values, what is the best way to do this. The config
file can be in any format I want such as:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $var = 3;
my $var1 = 4 ;
my $var2 = 234; etc
So how could I run this from within my main program so that the var can
be used afterwards, or is there a better way of achieving the same
result.
On a side topic, how do multiple source code files work in Perl. How can
you do things such as include another file so that I can use it's
subroutines.
Any pointer would be welcome.
Thanks
Brian
