That could be done in a module, I think. It's all a matter of how you would specify what needs to be run, especially if you have multiple package in a single file. But assuming you would require "Foo.pm", it would be easy to have a Foo->REQUIRED routine run after the require was successful. Just a matter of stealing CORE::require... ;-) LizThread Previous | Thread Next
