I have read that link you provided, thanks.
The modules I have declared do contain a package name.
Is it not possible or easy to just use/require/include a pl or pm file that
contains a set of function for me to reuse.
Is this a valid pm and pl file?
package Test;
sub DisplaySection {
print $_[0];
}
1;
and in my pl file(without the other stuff to make it run):
use Test;
&DisplaySection("Test12");

It sounds like you are using perl4-style libs that don't declare a
package name. You can find a description of the problem and some
solutions here:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html#Name_collisions_with_Modu
les_and_libs
The basic fix is to give your modules unique package names. See the
perlmod man page for more on package names.
