problem with a required module

[123321a]

Hi,

I developed a large program and it uses packages, the packages are called by the command required everytime they are needed, when the package is required the subroutines within run automatically,the problem is when I call the same package twice, this second time the package doesn't run the subroutines and the program keep going through the remaining of the program.

Thanks in advanced.....

my understanding is that this behaviour is correct - initialisation code runs only once -- maybe you need to look at Perl objects if you need something to run each time it is used
