I have a perl script that is called hourly to parse some data. The code is below: 
foreach $file (@filelist)  {
  Parse::parse_file($file,$project,$date);
  Moving::move_file($file,$project,$date);
...

[download]

The parse_file sub is in another file. This subroutine includes the following lines: 
use vars qw ($project, $date)
....
return $project, $date

[download]

I want parse_file to process the data, and return the filename, the project name and a few other variables. I want these variables passed to the move_file subroutine, located in yet a third file (package). How can I get these variables (which are set in the parse_file sub) to the move_file subroutine?
