Just to add some notes....

I hope you're not confused between package main and Main. The former is automatically provided by Perl and each Perl program are implicitly in a package main. The later is normal user-defined package name.

Package Main::Contact indicates nothing about inheritance between Main and Contact, the double colon ("::") notation indicates physical structure where Main is the directory under which the file Contact.pm is located (it doesn't mean though that Main.pm doesnt exist).

About the layout.... I get used to put my private Perl modules under directory lib as found in CPAN module distributions (e.g. CGI-Application-x.yy/lib/CGI/Application.pm). You may also use lib/perl as seen in the standard Perl module directories layout by the system (e.g /usr/lib/perl or /usr/lib/perl5). If there are more sibling directories (as in my case), they are all under single directory (e.g. myappl) so later I can say,

use lib '/path/to/myappl/lib'; # or #use lib '/path/to/myappl/lib/perl'; # whichever the case
to let Perl knows where to search for my private modules.

Open source softwares? Share and enjoy. Make profit from them if you can. Yet, share and enjoy!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
