Re: using strict from another module

John--

I second Corion's sentiment: When you go to another machine and try to do a quickie, you may not have access to your personal module.

That said, I'd suggest creating a macro in your editor to plop in the important stuff. For example, if using vim, the command:

:abbrev ## #!/usr/bin/perl -w^V^Muse strict;
[download]

would insert a typical pair of lines at the start of your program when you enter ## in insert mode. Most editors have a similar macro feature. In fact, there have been several great threads about setting up editors for use with Perl. (I'd include some links here, but I'm still a newb, and don't know which ones are the best to include.)

I keep my .vimrc on my subversion server for exactly that reason. Of course, you could do the same with a personal module, too. -xdg Code written by xdg and posted on PerlMonks is public domain.

chromatic-- Very true, ++ for you! My original intent was that I think it's important to see the standard junk at the front, so you don't forget the basics. (Very important, especially for beginners...) If only I had thought to say so. Thanks for the catch! --roboticus	[reply]
