Re: How to pass an argument to a Module?

I would prefer to write an ordinary subroutine to initialize the global variables at run-time. (Same general idea as the OO "new")

Something like this? `use Mod; Mod->initialize('argument');` [download] I'm going to try.	[reply] [d/l]

If you module is a class, you have written a call to a class method. (That is even better than what I had in mind.) If not, the initialize function would have to be written, passed, and called the same way as every other function in the module. Bill	[reply]

I just tried it on a simple package and it works :o) You're right, as it's not a class i'm doing: `use Mod; Mod::initialize('argument');` [download] It is more simple than the previous solutions, and does what i need. Thank you ! It is less 'elegant' though : there is an additional line of code to put in the client code, each time. If someone knows how to use IMPORT i'm still interested in learning.	[reply] [d/l]
