I do work for a company that does marketing for nearly 100 car dealerships around the US. A big part of this is importing and maintaining data for each dealership from a variety of older systems, and doing this requires a large number of config variables and even custom subs. Obviously, dumping these all in one huge .pm isn't a good option, and as far as I know, I can't "use" a path containing a variable (a keyword representing the dealer).
Or to put it another way, I have a folder called Config that contains x.pm, y.pm, z.pm, etc. where x, y, and z are dealer keywords. When I run a data import, I have a variable containing the dealer keyword, and I want to use just that one .pm, let's say x.pm. What's the best way to go about doing this? Up to now, I've been loading the file contents and using eval, but I'm wondering if there's a more elegant / more efficient way to do it.

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).
