Re: Module Creation and Function Call

in reply to Module Creation and Function Call

First, add:

    use strict;
    use warnings;

to your module so that perl will tell you of all the different things you're doing which probably aren't what you want.

Then go read the docs on creating subs: perldoc perlsub ignoring the stuff about attributes (you don't need them) and prototypes (you don't want them either). That will tell you why you don't want to use &Configchk.

Then you can read the docs for Exporter (perldoc Exporter) which may help with why you can't see @arr_iVPU_standard. (Hint: it's real name is @iVPU_Parameter::arr_iVPU_standard). But that doesn't really matter because you really don't want to do that either. Pass the array's in as array-refs, because (... you'll know why from reading perlsub)

Perl comes with lots of well written, well organized documentation. I won't tell you to read all of it, but please do read the relevant parts. If you're not sure which they are, try: perldoc perl or google for it.

Does any of your thoughtless boilerplate advice, other than "Perl comes with lots of well written, well organized documentation," do anything to help solve the OP's problem?

I thought it might help, if followed. It was a selection of advice pointed at the problems in his code. I learned perl by reading the online docs, so it *is* possible.
