no, don't use modulinos, they offer no benefits in perl, they're actually an evil gimmick

scripts shouldn't pretend to be modules, scripts should use modules

Deciding what sub/method to run based on how the "module" (scriptfile) is loaded , is about as pointless and dumb as it gets

Make it into a real module, then change the script to use it

use App::NowModule; 
App::NowModule::Main(@ARGV);

Thank you for the link. That is what I was referring to, and it links to a PerlMonks post I will follow up on. I had been trying to find where the topic had been covered before and that may be it.
