( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hi Perl Monks

I'm doing some thing wrong here and for the life of me I can't see what's going wrong. All help gratefully recieved.

I have inherited some Perl scripts, and I have one Perl script program which has a require statement of another Perl file.
I also call a Perl Module that I've created.

Thus my main script requires 'somefile.pl' and uses newform.pm.

my main script then calls a sub routine sub_a in somefile.pl. (this works fine).

I then added to main script more code to call new->newform(this works fine).

However

if in the newform package I want to use another sub routine from 'somefile.pl' i declare require('somefile.pl')

and in the newform package I then call sub_b sub routine from 'somefile.pl'.

BUT This now falls over in the main script saying 'undefined subroutine &main::sub_a at blah'!

Can some one explain what's going on here and a possible solution, as my brain has now gone 'Kaput'.

Thanks in advance(hope that was explained clearly enough?)

Cheers

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
