Ok, thank you, I understand "package main" is not necessary.
I am surprised by your insistence in saying that "require" is an equivalent of an include. I suppose it is a question of word. What I call a "simple include", is like a macro, a textual equivalence, like macros or include processed by a C preprocessor : no syntax analysis is done. This is opposite to "require" which "load in external functions from a library at runtime" : I never said that I wanted to include fonctions nor make a library, I want a "simple include"...
I would have accepted the answer that what I want to do is not possible, that it is not in the spirit of perl, coming from you a so good famous "saint"...I wonder if there is not something else that I miss.
