Hi All, I have a script which use a sub routine from other pl file. Here are the the pl two codes. 
# test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

print "Hello, World...\n";

my $perl = "a.pl";

$perl->(10,20);

another .pl script. 
# add.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

print "here\n";
return sub {
    my ($a , $b) = @_;
    return 0;
};

if i ran the test.pl. it gives error as Can't use string ("a.pl") as a subroutine ref while "strict refs" in use at C:\Users\Sathish\Desktop\T\test.pl line 9. Please tell me what the error says. It would be great if i have an explanation. Thanks
