Re: Object oriented mess

Can you provide more code about abc.pl?

More information about Client? Are they related in any way?

What error are you getting?

Yes .. I do understand the difference between use and require. abc.pl is a global file thats contains common sub-routines (such as Error handling subs, template formating sub, etc) abc.pl is included in all files (even Client.pm) Client.pm looks something like this `--------------client.pm------------- package Client; use strict; require '../somepath/../abc.pl'; sub new { create and return a hash object } sub get_name { return $_[0]->{'Name'}; } 1; -------------` [download] I apologize if I am not explaining the code well enough.

I see now; since you're requiring abc.pl in package Client first (remember that use is run at compile time), its functions will be in package Client update: unless you put an explicit package statment in abc.pl. If you later require() abc.pl again in the main package that's a noop, since require caches. You really want to take a look at Exporter.
