Re^2: Best way to call another perl file

The "best" approach is using modules, but this requires more preparation.

more? All the options are about equal amount of preparation ... name subs, name files ... name package ... about equal effort (save extra 100 keystrokes here there)

zentara package/module tutorial

FWIW, among all the options available, do is about the worst :)

It seems to be an ineradicable prejudice that do $file and its equivalent eval qx(cat $file) is bad practice. Hmm, lets see, do documentation itself tells you use/require are better ... meaning actual modules are better ... most folks who `do 'file';` manage to forget about namespaces and aren't coping with scoping -- when they switch to use/require they're at least forced to think about it by all the tutorials	[reply] [d/l]
