How does one slurp a function or series of functions in perl?
Similar to the  way its done in shells':
   . somefunction

I know about the:
  use (some.pm file);

syntax, of course, but it seems to entail lots of extra details and
knowledge, compared to the shell technique.  Is there something
comparably simple that allows perl scripts to slurp functions from a
central source?

'use' can be as simple or complex as you wish really. The only thing slightly more complicated is if @INC doesn't contain where your *.pm lives. But that would be a simple case of doing

use lib ('/path/to/libs/');

before your other use MyModule call. Of course you could be after the 'about as simple as it gets' 'require', so:

perldoc -f require
