Perl Subroutine Options

[SteveD]

I have used subroutines in Perl before, inside the same file, but I would like to create a subroutine, or a set of subroutines, stored in their own file, then called from other files.

My guess is that in the calling program I would do a - use MODULE (name); at the top, then call the subroutine as I always have.

In the file of subroutines each subroutine would be defined as I have always done in the past.

Am I close?

Thanks,
Steve

I'm not very familiar with Perl, but the synopsis for subroutines in the perl documentation says that to import a subroutine, you have to go

use MODULE qw(NAME1 NAME2 NAME3);

Which points to you being right.
