We have been tossing around the idea of upgrading part of our site from a PHP script to one written in PERL. Part of what's holding us back is my almost total lack of PERL experience. <p>
I do have one question that is probably the biggest I have, but is probably so insignificant to you that you'll laugh. PHP has require() and/or include() that allow me to change the contents of one file and it changes what's displayed in the page(or pages). For example, I insert
<code>
require(anouncments.txt);
</code>
into the main page, and to change any news for that page, I only need edit the announcments.txt file instead of the page being displayed. <p>
It also allows me to add code(such as an RSS feed).<p>
I'm sure there has to be the same setup for PERL, I just don't seem to be able to find it. Anybody point me in the right direction? I don't even have an idea of where to looks in the books it would seem, what question to ask.
<p>
Thanks.
