#include for Perl?

[John Evans]

Hey guys,

	I'm writing a set of Perl scripts that share a common set of
configuration variables. When one variable changes, I would like to change
one file and have all scripts recognize the change. Somethign akin to what
"#include" does for C.

I've been doing things along the lines of:

File: config.inc
$docpath = "/home/jtevans/doc";
$binpath = "/home/jtevans/bin";
$data = "/home/jtevans/report/data.txt";
# more vars ....


File: find_bad_fields.plo
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -wT

use "./config.inc";
# Also tried eval and require.

open(DATAIN, $data) or die("Aaahh!!!\n");
while (<DATAIN>) {
# do stuff...
}
close(DATAIN);


Is there a way to do what I'm trying or am I SOL?

Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can pass my way...
