I have a group of perl scripts on a single server that access and perform different actions on a website using the same basic framework. I have separated these chunks into subroutines. At present the subroutine code chunks are simply copy and pasted into each script that needs them. I realise that this would ideal for creating a package/module for my own use:
package MyPackage;
sub doSomething {
#do something, mutley
}
and then use this just as with a 'proper' module from CPAN:
use MyStuff;
my $a = "foo";
my $b = doSoemthing($a);
However, I have basic server access only and cannot install new modules on the CGI server. So my question is, is there a way to do something similar to give me a reusable code chunk that can be accessed from multiple scripts without creating and installing a module?
