What's wrong with 'use'? I, and probably most of the perl community, develop common code routines all the time - I typically create a perl 'module' - put my common code in there - and then 'use' that module anytime I need access to that code.

If you're not yet familiar with Perl's 'perldocs', get familiar with them. I just did 'perldoc perl', and then searched(using the forward slash '/') for 'module', and here are a few things I found at the top:

           perlmod             Perl modules: how they work
           perlmodlib          Perl modules: how to write and use
           perlmodstyle        Perl modules: how to write modules with
+ style
           perlmodinstall      Perl modules: how to install from CPAN
           perlnewmod          Perl modules: preparing a new module fo
+r distribution

So, to read the perldocs for 'perlmod', I'd do 'perldoc perlmod'.


HTH.
