I don't want to begin to understand why you're doing this, but if you make a.pl read: #!/usr/bin/perl $test = 'World!'; require 'b.def'; print $abacus;
it should work. If you mean for b.def to define some standard functionality, try defining subs in it instead. -David On Tue, 9 Nov 2004 17:48:36 -0200, Jair V. B.
