Yes, you can put them in a seperate file and use the file like so:
require 'file.pl';
You'll need to add a "1;" on the last line of the file so it'll return true.
update: read the perldoc's on require and use.

Your problem is much more easily and cleanly solved by the above answers, so use those. This is just an academic comment ;-).

Perl can actually use the C preprocessor if you invoke the interpreter with the -P flag. Then your #includes and other such C pragmas will work. However, as is typical for Perl, the kludgely preprocessor directives have been superceded by more Perlish (i.e., easier, safer, more huggable) constructs. #define constants should use the const module; #includes should be replaced by real modules with use or require. Since these aren't preprocessor directives, #ifdefs are unnecessary. </don't do this> | [reply]

If these functions and global variables are goingto be
used by a number of different scripts then it might be
worth making them into a proper module. Then you'll be
able to include it by using:
use MyStuff;

yep. You can use require "./myvariables.pl"; at
the top of your script. It imports everything in the perl library
into your script. There are fancier ways to do the same thing, but
this is probably the easiest. | [reply]
