in reply to dynamic sub routine definitions?

Is it you that writes the "dynamic" code? If so, take a look at Exporter

Update Some sample snippets. Your "dynamic" code could look like:

# This file is MyDynCode.pm package MyDynCode ; use strict ; use warnings ; use base 'Exporter' ; our @EXPORT = qw(dynamic) ; sub dynamic { print "runrunrunrunrun!!!" ; }

...and your code could import and run that function in a way like this:

use strict ; use warnings ; my $dynapack = 'MyDynCode' ; eval "use $dynapack" ; die $@ if $@ ; dynamic() ;

This one uses eval and use, but you could also use require and import: just change the eval and die lines with:

require "$dynapack.pm" ; import $dynapack ;

I hope this helps
