in thread 'Using' modules

but I can't just do:
use 'test.pl'; # or use 'test.ph';
It shouts for syntax error, use argument suppose to be a module name, not a file name, so what else can I do?

    Try require, then. Or, rewrite test.pl so that it fits the model for use. (I recommend the latter, simply because it's generally better.)
