You can always make a normal module, 'use' it in the normal way, and thereby put your subroutines into the global namespace, which is named 'main' in Perl. Is that what you mean? But it's generally called "exporting", not "polluting", when you do it this way. Alternatively, you could make a library file that never specifies another package name, thus defining everything in package 'main' by default. > And if so, using pure perl code or would I have to delve into xs? This shouldn't need anything but Perl. But do you ask this because you're thinking about overloading core functions with your own? Since it's simple to do what you seem to be asking, I'm unsure that I've understood your request. Hope this helps! --Tom Phoenix Stonehenge Perl Training
