Read the Exporter manpage... here's a simple example:

package Ctweten::Export;

use Exporter;
our @ISA = qw(Exporter); # we now inherit from Exporter, namely the im
+port() method

our @EXPORT_OK = qw(this that); # you must ask for these: use Ctweten:
+:Export 'this';
our @EXPORT    = qw(other); # exporter by default

sub this { print "Hello\n" }
*that = *other = *this;

In a program, if you want to use this() and other(), you do the following: <code> #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w use strict; $|++; use Ctweten::Export qw(this); other; this; that; # this would die under these circumstances.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
