Resolved sending dbh connection to a sub routine

[bazz]

Hi,

In my script, I get a connection established with the db. I then want to send the connection to another sub but it seems not to happen.

Can it not be done in the same way as any other value is passable from sub to sub?

sub db_connect {

  my $business_id = '123';
  my $connect = connect_to_db(); # connection established

  require 'header_control.pl';  # locate headers and footers module
  header($business_id,$connect);
}

second file:

header {

my ($business_id,$connect) = @_;

business_id value can be used
connect value isn't there. 
}

The error msg says:
Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at header_control.pl line 313.

Can someone please show me a tutorial or give an explantion for what I have done wrongly.

I may just be in one of my 'lets make this more efficient' moods which makes me run around in circles.

Edit:
Blimey, sorry. I was looking at the wrong place It's working now.
