rpike has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all, Can comeone explain to me thoroughly how use and require actually work and the differences between them? I'm having some trouble figuring out how they differ and such. I wanted to include a file in-line in a program as though a library item, whereby the main code would flow down through and take that include as though stored there initially. If I put a require statement instead of a loop with other statements in it the values would get lost on each time the required file got hit. Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Rob
