note bart You can't use slashes in the name of the required file. You can use either double colons, and no file extension (".pm" is assumed), or you can use a string (a quoted literal or a variable) with a path with slashes and <em>with</em> file extension. So you can do <c> require "/a/b/script"; </c> if it has no file extension, or <c> require "/a/b/script.pl"; </c> if it has ".pl" as file extension. 1007543 1007543
