Re: i need help in subroutines

[Corion]

Hello and welcome to the monastery, uva!
Perl itself comes with extensive documentation, but I think you are better helped by learning Perl through an introductory book like merlyn's Learning Perl or Programming Perl (the "Camel Book"). Especially if you already know another programming language (for example C or C++), that book should help you.

thanx for the reply Corion.... i read "the subroutines are written and store in the file with extension .pm and we can use that subroutine in someother file using -use module;- i tried to implement it is giving error as -cannot locate module in @INC- i also tried using push(@INC,"d:\\module.pm") but still it is giving error,,,,, thats why i asked one code..."

[Corion]

The @INC array is for storing directories in which Perl looks for your modules. If you have a file UvaModule.pm in the directory D:\uva\code\, then you can load it with:

use lib 'D:/uva/code/';
use UvaModule;

Read the lib documentation.

thanx Corion,,,, i am not sure whether the following code is write ======================================

#file1 is in  "d:/test.pm"                                 
sub uvaraj                                                 
{
$name='ramu';
print 'uvaraj is a good boy in nature but...';
}

===================================

#file2 is in "d:/run.pl"                                   
use lib 'D:/';
use test;
&uvaraj;

==================== i run the second file, it is giving error as "test.pm didnt return a true value"
