in reply to Source files, packages and name spaces

My standard idiom for including multiple packages in the same file is:

BEGIN {
  package My::Package;
  ... code goes here ...
}

That way, it acts like a use, causing all "regional" definitions and actions to be executed before the "main" program starts running.
