The ultimate goal is that people read and re-read the documentation before asking questions. I would hope for that even here ( note I said hope ). In answering questions, it is essential to consider how you can shape and equip new commers for their coding future. Answering to just answer only does half the job. -- Casey West

The only way I found to go around this problem is : copying the same header file with different names and then I include each : copy with different name in each package. Why can't I just use one header : file and include in each package? Any help would really be appreciated. Mohamed, I am a bit confused, because Perl doesn't really have "header" files. If you would like to make a Perl module that exports constants, I can help you with that. The following is a module that exports PI as a constant: package Export::Pie; use strict; use constant PI => 4 * atan2( 1, 1 ); require Exporter; our @ISA = qw[ Exporter ]; our @EXPORT = qw[ PI ] our $VERSION = '0.01'; 1; __END__ You could then use this module (Export/Pie.pm) in a program or other module like this: use Export::Pie; print "Pi is " . PI; I hope this helps, and don't forget to read: perldoc perlmod perldoc perlmodlib perldoc constant perldoc Exporter Enjoy! -- Casey West
