Just two suggestions:
- Don't use loose .pl files. Make proper modules, with their own namespaces. perlmod is your friend.
- Don't make assignment to variables inside your modules. Return the value of the calculation from a function, and use that.
What you have will be something like:
use strict;
package Module1;
use Exporter 'import';
our @EXPORT_OK = qw(compute_value);
sub compute_value {
# do the computation
}
1; # this is required, see perldoc perlmod
in the file "Module1.pm" and something like:
use strict;
use Module1;
my $variable1 = Module1::compute_value();
or:
use strict;
use Module1 qw(compute_value);
my $variable1 = compute_value();
in your main script.

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).
