If you don't want the trouble of converting your scripts to .pm modules, but you can share a bunch of subroutines across multiple scripts by 1) putting them in a separate file (say snmplib.pl) 2) adding a 1; to the end of the snmplib.pl file, and 3) putting a code fragment at the beginning of scripts which would call those subroutines like
BEGIN { require "/var/www/cgi-bin/snmplib.pl"; }
. It's not as elegant as modules and it's not particularly mod_perl friendly, but it works and is imho quicker to implement. (It is true that global variables in the two files are accessible to each other with this approach, not encapsulated and filtered through well-defined EXPORT interfaces, but you may or may not care about that depending on how your code works.) Perhaps some more experienced monk will tell you (and me) why not to do it this simple way.

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.
