I have programs with 10 modules in 300 lines, and I should break them into 30 line modules each just because perl is broken?
Perl is working exactly as documented. There's at least one question a week here about how this all works, and every time the answer is the same.
I wanted 'use module' not try to include a module if it was in the same file...
How is that to work? Is the compiler to guess that subsequent code in the file will declare a package? Is the compiler to process the entire file once, looking for package statements, and only then start compiling the code?
You don't put such things with dependent functionality in multiple files or your development becomes a nightmare finding what file you are supposed to be in.
Sure I do, and I don't have these nightmare debugging problems you do.

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).

are good places to start.
