( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

You can do it like this using -M to load the module and -e to execute whatever is inside the ' ' . In this case we call clone with the args:

perl -MDBUtil -e 'clone(arg1 arg2 arg3)' or perl -MDBUtil -e 'clone(@ARGV)' arg1 arg2 arg3

Another option is to add something like this to your module:

#!/usr/bin/perl package DBUtil; # run main if called with command line args # will not execute when called as a module (no cmd line args) main() if @ARGV; sub main { # blah }

More typically you would write a 3 line script that uses your module like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl use DBUtil; clone(@ARGV)

Then you just call the script. This is analagous to the command line version and is probably the more conventional way to do it.

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
