How to include perl file

[bluebillow]

I am a new perl programer and I meet a question.
I have a perl file test_1.pl like:

#!/usr/bin/perl
sub Test;
 
sub Test {
    printf "==========================Hello, perl.\n";
    return 0;
}
 

and In test.pl I want to use the Test function, so I wrote test.pl like:

#!/usr/bin/perl
 
#include <test_1.pl>
sub main;
sub main {
    Test;
}
 
main;
 

But this does not work at all.
So can some help me to know how to include a perl file and makes the file mentioned above to work?
Thanks

require '<name of your perl script you want to include>';

You need to study the following material

perldoc use
perldoc require
cpan Exporter (for the more advanced)

Anyway, here is your code redone. Note that i've renamed the file you were trying to include to Test.pm.

Test.pm

package Test;
 
sub test {
    printf "==========================Hello, perl.\n";
    return 0;
}
 
1;
 
__END__
 

test.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl
 
use Test;
 
sub main {
    Test::test();
}
 
main();

Thanks for Miller and other's reply. But after changing the files following Miller's instruction, there still be error :

% perl test.pl
Undefined subroutine &Test::test called at test.pl line 6.

Is there still sth wrong?

Thanks

Files are like below:

test.pl:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Test;

sub main {
Test::test();
}

main();


test.pm:

package Test;

sub test {
printf "==========================Hello, perl.\n";
return 0;
}

1;

__END__

test.pm

The test.pm file should be named "Test.pm". Maybe that was just a typo in your post, but that could be a cause of the error.
