title: Calling script and passing value from called script
body: <p>I have one script i'm trying to call from another script, passing the information from the script that is being called to the calling script. When i use do or require it runs through but doesnt pass the value.</p>
  <p>ex.</p>
  <p>I have the following line at the bottom of the script that i am calling</p>
  <h2>called script.pl</h2>
  <p>print &quot;   $hold IS VALUE\n&quot;;</p>
  <p>which prints me the value of hold.</p>
  <p>I then start the calling script with:</p>
  <h2>calling_script.pl</h2>
  <p>require 'acc_option.pl';
  print &quot;HOLD PASSED IS $hold\n&quot;;</p>
  <p>but the variable hold doesnt print.</p>
  <p>Whats the best way to call this script instead of putting everything on one long ass page?</p>
