Re^2: staements in strings

i have the "original" script that starts an HTML header, prints out some things, assigns some variables, etc., then (depending on the variables values) if needs to load either the "module" A or "module" B and such to do some other scripting changes to variables, even print some things if necessary, then return back to the original script and continue on where it left off to finish the original page. eg; put part of the original script in seperate "modules" and implement the individual "modules" depending on different caese of the original scripts variable status's.

you mean there's any easier way?

What??? I can only guess what you are trying to do, here some general tips about communication between modules when using a module (compile time!) you can pass strings to its import method. import can set variables in the namespace of the importing module a require evals a modules code like "do filepath" would, that is at runtime and just in place (i.e. eval `cat path/file.pl` but only once). even if your modules are in different namespaces (package) you can always get and set all their global variables by qualifying the `$package::path` and access all their `package::functions()`. So there are plenty of possibilities, if you show us more specific code examples of your use case I'm sure someone can hint you to a best practice approach. Cheers Rolf	[reply] [d/l] [select]

you know how to access package variables? e.g. `$packagename::varname` Cheers Rolf	[reply] [d/l]

actually, i'm sorry i misused the term... i meant in the "require" pretense, not the "use" pretense... you mean there's any easier way?	[reply]

package variables? i'm not sure what you mean here, i'm trying to write different script "instances" depending on different cases in the original index.pl script then return to the index.pl script and continue on... thats where i'm maybe thinking of the use command... i could "use" the same filename to reference seperate "different" packages in seperate directories so i could write different packages for different cases i'm hoping... you mean there's any easier way?
