note trwww <p>You have to ->import the symbols in to your library:</p> <c> use warnings; use strict; package MyStandardModules; use Time::HiRes (); package main; Time::HiRes->import('gettimeofday'); print gettimeofday(); </c> <p>I suggest either calling the function/method qualified with the namespace (ala my $time = Time::HiRes::gettimeofday()) or use()ing the module in the place you need the symbol imported.</p> <p>Could you explain your adversion to use()ing the module in the package where the function is needed?</p> 889426 889426
