Can you use include files in Perl?

[Haazi2]

I'm a C guy trying to learn Perl. In C, you can create include files to be used by many programs. How can you do this in Perl? It looks like you can do this with Perl modules, but is using Perl modules the only way to include files in Perl? Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Haazi2,

You can use the

require

keyword to include files.

You can also use the "do" command.

perldoc -f do
perldoc -f require
