Require'ing files is easier, usually.  Most of these require'd files just
consist of a bunch of subroutines.   It depends on the file, but most of
the time you should be able to simply copy the file and paste it into the
bottom of your script.  Remove the "1;" at the end of the file.  If there
is anything in the file OUTSIDE a subroutine, find a way to integrate it
into your script or put it into its own subroutine that you call in place
of the "require" line.

This might not work all the time, but it should help.
