in thread Repeating Code - there has GOT to be a better way!

I wish I could. Alas, at this point, I have no say in how the data is pulled from the DB and stored. Although I might get to re-write that code later, in which case I will keep this in mind! But for now, this is what I am stuck with.

    You might try something like:
    my %Cmd; { no strict 'vars'; # you have a 'use strict;' line, right? %Cmd = do ("db/$name" . 'Cmd.pm'); }

      Or even

      #!/usr/bin/perl my %cmds = map { (/(.*)Cmd/) => { do $_ } } <*Cmd.pm>; use Data::Dumper; print Dumper \%cmds;
      $ cat *Cmd.pm ; ./832111.pl %barCmd = ( # barCmd.pm BAR => 99, # ... ); %fooCmd = ( # fooCmd.pm FOO => 42, # ... ); $VAR1 = { 'bar' => { 'BAR' => 99 }, 'foo' => { 'FOO' => 42 } };
      %Cmd = do ("db/${name}Cmd.pm");
