In your first link the best suggestion was from chromatic. Instead of thinking in terms of executing an external script, think in terms of calling a function. Both are methods of executing arbitrary code, but the advantage of a function is that it also has notions of how to pass arguments.

The alternative is to use global variables to do your communication. Global variables to communicate between a mass of scripts that call each other haphazardly is a short road to insanity. While it is the answer that you asked for, I strongly recommend not doing that. Write a module if you want your files to actually do something.

You may not have written a module before. If you haven't, it isn't as hard as people make it look. Take a look at Re (tilly) 1: Best way to fix a broken but functional program? for a random instance. Just save that template to a file whose name ends in ".pm", write a test script that uses it, then start adding, running, and testing. That template should serve you pretty well.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
