*acts like a sponge and absorbs everything*

Alright, thx! Been trying to get it to work, without luck though.

test.cgi
#!c:/apache/perl/bin/perl.exe

BEGIN {
    $| = 1;
    open (STDERR, ">&STDOUT");
    print qq~Content-type: text/html\n\n~;
}

use CGI;
use strict;
use lib qw( c:/apache/cgi-bin/lib );
use MyAppCommon;  # use is basically like require... see the docs for 


my $foo = new CGI;

print $foo->header;

MyAppCommon::top();

print "Test content (should be in middle)<br><br><br><br>\n";

MyAppCommon::bottom();

MyAppCommon.pl (.pl a necessary extension? or can it be .cgi?)
use strict;

sub top {
    print "Top stuff<br><br>";
}

sub test {
    print "Bottom stuff<br><br>";
}

1;

Assuming the code above, where am I suppose to save MyAppCommon.pl? Does it need to be compiled somehow? I know I could put it in the bin on my test environment, but I want to mimic my website's environment as best possible, so would like to have it in a subdirectory of my cgi-bin.


Thx again for all the help, time, and patience! I'm learning a ton tonight :-)
