siliconGopher has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

monks,
Is it possible to create a package with multiple subroutines, which can be invoked by merely using the subroutine name. 
example:

Package.pm (contains the foll){
      subroutine1
      subroutine2
      subroutine3
      subroutine4
}

script.pl(contains){

use Package;
use strict;
  --
etc.
** call to subroutine **

}

Suppose we make a call to a subroutine where shown in the sample code above,

Ideally we would invoke in this fashion,
Package::subroutine1(args)

I am wondering if we can somehow invoke in the following manner
subroutine1(args)

    package Package;
use strict;

require Exporter;

use vars qw/@ISA @EXPORT/;

@ISA = qw/Exporter/;
@EXPORT = qw/subroutine1 subroutine2 subroutine3 subroutine4/;

# ...

1;

    Hi, Use Exporter module in your package. 

    require Exporter;
our (@ISA,@EXPORT);
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT=qw(subroutine1 subroutine2 subroutine3 subroutine4);
