How: call a script into another as a sub routine.

[bazz]

Hi,

I searched but couldn't find.

Pretty much as the title says.. INstaed of me having an identical sub-routine in several files, I want to place it into a separate file and then call in it as required. How do I call it in - pre-processed.

afaik, you can use the use pragma to include other .pl files in your script, compile-time.

Turn the script into a module and call it in like any other module.

use MyModules::module_name;
