using subroutine from another file

[Ling F. Zhang]

Let's say thatI wroute some code long time ago:
code1.pl. In the file there is this subroutine1();

now I am writting another code code2.pl, and would
like to use that subroutine1()...how do I do it
without copy and pasting it to my code2.pl?

Try this...

require 'code1.pl';
call_your_sub();

This will also execute the code in code1.pl (if there is anything outside of
a sub block), which may not be what you want.

Greetings:

Well what you wanan do it's export a function from another class.

You can do it using 2 ways, standard way (using EXPORTER) or
using Object Oriented Programming in your style.

learn.perl.org has the Beginning perl book online, check the OO
chapter and the modules one.

Good luck!
