About using required files
When you have a required file, (require "somefile.cgi") can u put $scalars in it and call them from the file, just like they were in the script?
I mean, like create a text file, that all of the scalars I will use, with their intended values. Then require it from all the files using those scalar values, and then use those scalar values in the script?
Thanks for the help.

yes you can
an example would be
#!/usr/bin/perl
require "test.pl";
print $test;
and test.pl would contain
$test = "hello";
so when you ran the program it would print "hello"
I just learned that myself.

Hmm... I am having problems with it. Well atleast I know it is something on my part, and not the inability to do it. Does it have to be .pl or can it be .cgi? I also see it in my book as .lib. I will try them all, minus well. I am trying everything anyway.

No, extension on the require file doesn't matter.

Also, if you are using subroutines in the include file you'll need to put 1; at the end or it wont work.
