hi,

is there a more delicate way to do this? i have a script that uses a subroutine from a module. example

"Test.pl"


use strict;
use DBI;
use DB qw(:All);
use SQL::Abstract;
my $sql = SQL::Abstract->new();

my $dbh = DBI -> connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=test.db", "", "",{RaiseErr
+or=>1, AutoCommit=>1});

my $popsamp = [qw(Popl Samp)];
my $form2 = "ID varchar(40) not null";
createtb($form2,$popsamp,$dbh);
[download]

and now there is a module that contains subroutine:

package DB;
use strict;
use base qw(Exporter);
use vars qw(@EXPORT_OK);
@EXPORT_OK = qw(createtb);


sub createtb{
      my ($form, $tabler, $dbh) = @_;
        my @table = @$tabler;
               foreach my $table (@table){  
                 my $stm = "create table $table ($form)";
                   my $stm1 = $dbh -> prepare($stm);
                   $stm1 ->execute;        
               
                             }
                   }
[download]

now the problem is that i have to pass $dbh variable to a module to work, but this seams very unprofessional(not that i am one). so i was wondering is there some other way to make variable available to the modules of my interest(specificaly a subroutines in the module)

thanx
