try: require filename.pl;rgds Franki
That clue gave the solution.
But:
1. Syntax is
require ("<filename>");
2. Unfortunately, my $whatever definitions do not survive transition into the required (included) file.
In my case that was easily overcome by shifting those definitions into the required file, which means they probably don't survive transition back into the main program, which is in my case, rather good (the reduced scope is safer).
Thanks!

I've searched the perl man pages fruitlessly, so let me ask of all you perl enthusiasts: How do you do such a simple thing as to include another perl source file at some point in a perl source file? No, "include" doesn't work. -- Ron.
