   eval `cat subroute_file.pl`;

The subroutine will then be available to you. No "use" or "require" required.

....and evaluate why would you do that when you should be required to use the lovely module architecture ;-) As merlyn notes do is better than eval cat which is not portable. cheers tachyon	[reply]
