You can do it like this using -M to load the module and -e to execute whatever is inside the ' ' . In this case we call clone with the args:
perl -MDBUtil -e 'clone(arg1 arg2 arg3)'
or
perl -MDBUtil -e 'clone(@ARGV)' arg1 arg2 arg3
Another option is to add something like this to your module:
#!/usr/bin/perl
package DBUtil;
# run main if called with command line args
# will not execute when called as a module (no cmd line args)
main() if @ARGV;
sub main {
# blah
}
More typically you would write a 3 line script that uses your module like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use DBUtil;
clone(@ARGV)
Then you just call the script. This is analagous to the command line version and is probably the more conventional way to do it.

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).
