i'm unsure about the first question, but your answer to the 2nd one, is, if you are using more than 1 script in your program, and you require() it, the script that's require()'d must have 1; as the last line. this way, perl knows it's the end of the file, and not to read any further. it returns a "true value" to perl. it also claims to perl that the script is complete.
