creating perl modules

[teroy]

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone could give me a pointer in the right direction or a sample procedure as on to how to make my own modules. I have read perldof -q "how to create modules" and have tried a sample script but am missing something or other.

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks in Advance

We have created our own functions here for many common things. I cannot tell you if they are assembled the same as supplied modules but ours follow simple subroutine format. Some use global variables, some use private variables but the purpose is to provide a function and/or service that can be used by many programs. Just be sure that the module ends with a ".pm" and be sure to reference it with a "use blahblah" in your perl program. Other than that, give it a try.

Thanks for that. It works!

I think what i was doing wrong was putting the .pm file in a wrong location
