Yes .. I do understand the difference between use and require.
abc.pl is a global file thats contains common sub-routines (such as Error handling subs, template formating sub, etc)
abc.pl is included in all files (even Client.pm)
Client.pm looks something like this
--------------client.pm-------------
package Client;
use strict;
require '../somepath/../abc.pl';
sub new {
create and return a hash object
}
sub get_name {
return $_[0]->{'Name'};
}
1;

I apologize if I am not explaining the code well enough.
