Caching the value of a variable	Can't Post

Hi,

I have a perl script which calls a perl module. There is a variable in the perl module. I want this variable to retain its value when the script call the module next time.

Can someone help me regarding the same?

Then you have to store the value to disk. How you store it is up to you, text file, database, maybe using Storable module.

Hi Kevin,

The variable's value couldn't be stored in a file or in database as the variable will contain password.

Thanks,

Aditya

Well, I have no idea how you can save the value of a variable without storing it somehow. You could store it in an encrypted form. But that is getting out of my range of knowledge.
