in reply to copying files through modules

Hello Pete, welcome to the monastery. Your question is not very clear and you are new here, so let me start with a little advice:

Read How do I post a question effectively? AND
Writeup Formatting Tips ... these will help you form your questions more effectively.

Specifically:
Which module are you talking about.
by .pl file do you mean your script? Perl scripts do not have to end in .pl
Any sample code to illustrate the question (i.e. what have you tried?)? use code tags and paste into your question.
what is the ultimate goal that you are trying to reach, remember TIMTOWTDI with perl.
use strict and warnings.

my $a='62696c6c77667269656e6440676d61696c2e636f6d';
while ($a=~m/(^.{2})/s)
{print unpack('A',pack('H*',"$1"));$a=~s/^.{2}//s;}

Re^2: copying files through modules

    hi Guys, Sorry abt my previous post. basically what i want to do is write a module that contains a function that returns an open filehandle at the begining of a file which i want to copy to a location specified in my local script. i'm not sure how to return a filehandle. i also dont know how i can accept a filehandle in the script. i tried this but it wouldn't work coz i use strict. copy.txt is the filename which i want to save it as. open OUTF, '>copy.txt; OUTF = MyModule::Myfunction; thanks for the help

      Would it be possible to, instead of describing a problem, actually demonstrate the code you're having trouble with? Not all 1000 lines, mind you. Create a 20-line (or less) snippet that isolates and illustrates your question. I'm starting to see what you're asking, but when you start saying things like "i also don't know how i can accept a filehandle in the script", that could have several meanings.
