In the first place, you don't have a shared library. A shared library is an object language file that was compiled independently of your code and needs a special module e.g. P5NCI::Library to make it available to Perl (update: without writing unix hacker-level glue code yourself that is to say).

In the second place you also don't have a module - see perlmod for how to construct the Perl equivalent of a shared library. I presume you are loading the non-module routines.pl using require - that is really the Perl equivalent of a #INCLUDE in C.

The short answer to the question is "yes" because $hello is global BUT you don't really want to rely on global variables because then you make your "library" dependent on what is defined as global for particular main routines - that's not good code design. Better is to pass parameters to your "shared" subroutines, e.g.:

#!/usr/bin/perl # main program; use strict; use warnings; use Routines;; { # closure to avoid global variables my $hello = "hello123; # ... hello( $hello ); } __END__ # Routines.pm - a separate file called a "module" package Routines; sub hello { my $hello = shift; print "$hello\n"; } 1;

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.
