In the perl, how to include a util file ? for example, I have a file “util.pl” , inside which has a function. then I want to include / import that file, how to do it ?

main.pl
use strict;
use warnings;

main();

sub main{
    my_funtion("start processing feed");
}

---------
util.pl

sub my_funtion {

}

Answer 1

For a pl script you need.

require "util.pl";

Near the top (after use strict) of your main.pl script.

Using .pm files, packages, and the use statement is probably “better”. But the above will solve the question you asked.
