Re: deprecation problem

Also,
I have a function in "mytool" called print_usage. In the Perl module "common.pm" the process_error function calls print_usage. When I try to do this I am getting the error:

Undefined subroutine &common::print_usage called at common.pm line 100
[download]

So common.pm does not know about print_usage from "mytool".
All help is appreciated!

Does common.pm `require()` or `use` mytool.pm anywhere? And if so, does it import that function from it? _____________________________________________________ Jeff`[japhy]`Pinyan: Perl, regex, and perl hacker, who could use a *job* `s++=END;++y(;-P)}y js++=;shajsj<++y(p-q)}?print:??;`	[reply]

When you are within the package called "`common`", all function calls are assumed to be calls to functions in that same package, unless you fully-qualify the fuction name itself. Assuming that "mytool" is a script, you were trying to call a routine that is in the `main::` namespace from within the `common::` namespace. --rjray	[reply]

After preceding the call to the print_usage function by "main::", that solved my problem. Thanks alot. I still have much to learn!	[reply]
