Hey guys, I have been programming in C and C++ for about 2 years now, but just recently picked up perl to run the dynamic pages of my website. The problem that I am having, though, is how to build a custom library (in the C sense) of all my commonly used subroutines (ie. record_visit, random_quote, etc.).

As of now, i am just copy and pasting the subroutines into each page that I use them. Not only is this bad because my C instructors would have nightmares looking at my code, but it is annoying to make small changes to the functions and have to do this 20 times every time I find something that is a little bit wrong.

I tried looking at a number of reference sites first but was unable to find a simple answer. I would appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance,

Danny
