Hi. Some of the things you pointed out are very relevant and hence i've modified the script now. Note that this is not a module , its a package. I would like to keep the dimension of my script the way it is.
Packagtest.pl
package Packagetest; BEGIN{ print"You are using Packagetest\n"; } sub ReadFile { use strict; use warnings; my ($fn) = @_; open(my $fh, '<', $fn) || die "cannot read the file: $!"; while (<$fh>) { chomp; my @tokens = split /\|/; print "Wrestlername: $tokens[0]\n"; print "Crowdreaction: $tokens[1]\n"; print "Specialmove: $tokens[2]\n\n"; } } return 1; END{ print"Thank you for using the package\n"; }
Here is the script that calls this package
TestPackage.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; require 'Packagetest.pl'; Packagetest::ReadFile("datafile");
