You need to export the DNAappend symbol. I would use DNAlibrary or some such name, presuming that you will add other DNA routines to this thing.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

use DNAlibrary;

my $a='ATGC';
my $b='TTTT';
print"\n\n";
print DNAappend($a,$b), "\n\n";  #ATGCTTTT

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

package DNAlibrary;   #FILE name should be DNAlibrary.pm
use vars qw(@ISA @EXPORT @EXPORT_OK %EXPORT_TAGS $VERSION);
use Exporter;
our $VERSION=1.0;
our @ISA = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT = qw(DNAappend);#these are the default exports
our @EXPORT_OK = qw();      #these are export on request

sub DNAappend {
  my ($head,$tail)=@_;
  return ($head.$tail)
  }
1;

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.
