Hi -
Perl is not like a typical compiled language, for example, c/c++.
It really doesn't have the typical 'include' functionality.
The 'use' and 'require' keywords are for 'including' perl
modules (normally with the .pm suffix) that reside in the
@INC path (type 'perl -V' to see your @INC path). Modules
normally are 'packages' that are coded to address a particular
programming tasks not native to the perl core. You probally are
not looking to code a module for you purposes.
One way I have used to accomplish something similar to what you
are trying to do is to code a 'configuration' file that returns
a hash reference:
{
model => "blah, blah, blah...",
color => "red",
serial_number => 8997234,
};
and then involk the configuration using the string
form to eval:
my $options;
open CONF, "conf.file" or die "...',
{
undef $/; # slurp the file
my $data = <CONF>;
$options = eval $data;
$@ && die "syntax error...";
close CONF;
}
print "$options->{model}\n";
print "$options->{color}\n";
print "$options->{serial_number}\n";
Aloha => Beau.

Subject: Var's in extern file
Hello,
I'm writing a script (what a surprise).
I want to use an extern file to store my variables. Like a config-file.
But with -use strict- it doesn't work.
I've tried it with use and require. But I get always this error-message:
Global symbol "$nummern" requires explicit package name at
d:\homepage\homepage\tier-vermisst\cgi-bin\jiforum.pl
Ok - I know that I have to declare it with my - but I don't want to
declare all the var's used in the configfile in the main script. Is
there a way to declare the var's in the config-file?
Tia
Jens
