Re: [MacPerl] Running files?

[Robert Sweeney <rsweeney@anet-stl.com>]

It's probably not the 'right' or recommended way, but can you do:

#!MacPerl
require "createNameList.pl";
require "createAddrePages.pl";
require "createNamePages.pl";

ideally, this should work if you end each of the individual .pl files with
"1;" on the last line. Granted there may be some issues involving paths to
the 'required' files.
