Lately i've been able to user 'require' command successfully and the
script was pretty straight forward and simple. I had to play around
with @INC.
Moving forward, I have another question here,
CREATE FUNCTION *funcname* (*argument-types*) RETURNS *return-type* AS
require " abc.pl"
$$ LANGUAGE plperlu;
In the above script if I have to call a particular sub-routine in abc.pl.
How can that be done?
I have to pass values to the arguments of a sub routine in abc.pl from
the the function funcname (arguments of the funcname in particular).
How would this thing be done?
Thanks,
Jas
