I would like to have some perl source files that are included in a larger perl script with 'do' run through the C preprocessor before inclusion. As far as I can tell, perl does not run them through the preprocessor, even if your main script was invoked with the -P flag. Can this be changed, or at least made optional? I have a large (2500+ line) perl script that wants to include some fairly large subroutines only if invoked with certain option flags. These subroutines utilize preprocessor constructs. So I see this feature as fairly necessary. Your mileage may vary. Eric Pettersen pett@cgl.ucsf.edu
