Thanks, sounds like I need to learn about modules. Here is what I am trying
to do... I want to have a script/module that contains all of my database
connection parameters and will make these parameters available to the
calling script.
Here are the connection parameters that I want to include in a separate
script/module:
my $serverName = "localhost";
my $serverPort = "3306";
my $serverUser = "johndoe";
my $serverPass = "slick";
my $serverDb = "DBName";
my $serverTabl = "TableName";
That's it. When I use "require" to try and include a script containing the
info above, I get nothing (no errors or anything, just the html stuff).
When I use require to make "Hello world" print in the browser it works. Is
there something special about passing variables that I should know about. I
bought a perl for dummies book today. So hopefully my days of being a dummy
are numbered. I saw Arthurs book there too, but figured I would get lost
just reading the Acknowledgments.
Chris.
