Hi,

I have to write several perl scripts with a number of modules included.
Therefore, I have to type many "use" statements at the top of each script. Is
there a way to dump all these "use" statements in a different file and then just
include that file everytime I have to include these "use" statements?

I know that writing a module is a great way to do something like that, but
doesn't a module export variables and subroutines? How can I make a module
export "use" statements?


Perl has three distinct ways of separating content: modules, packages, 
and objects. Modules do not export variables and subroutines; packages 
do. Or to be specific, packages can export variables and subroutines to 
the main package.


You can use a module as a straight-forward include. Simply list the 
material you want and it will be including in the package where the 
'use' command is.


In the main file:

use MyUseList;

Create a file called MyUseList.pm and add your list.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

# Your list goes here

1;  # Modules must return a non-false value
__END__

Adding the use statements to a different file

[vmalik]

Hi,

I have to write several perl scripts with a number of modules included.
Therefore, I have to type many "use" statements at the top of each script. Is
there a way to dump all these "use" statements in a different file and then just
include that file everytime I have to include these "use" statements?

I know that writing a module is a great way to do something like that, but
doesn't a module export variables and subroutines? How can I make a module
export "use" statements?

Thanks.
