If you want to make the constants available in the namespace that uses SPEAK::ITALIAN, you need to export them, just like you did with the sub hello:
@EXPORT = qw(hello HELLO GOODBYE);
Otherwise, you have to access them fully qualified:
print SPEAK::ITALIAN::GOODBYE . " in Italiano\n";
Update: or you could do it the OO way (via inheritance):
package SPEAK::ITALIAN;
use strict;
use warnings;
use constant HELLO => "Hello";
use constant GOODBYE => "Goodbye";
sub new {
my $class = shift;
return bless {}, $class;
}
sub hello {
print HELLO . " in Italiano\n";
}
1;
# the derived class (SPEAK/ITALIAN/Goodbye.pm)
package SPEAK::ITALIAN::Goodbye;
use strict;
use warnings;
use base "SPEAK::ITALIAN";
sub goodbye {
my $self = shift;
print $self->GOODBYE . " in Italiano\n";
}
1;
# your script
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use SPEAK::ITALIAN::Goodbye;
my $obj = SPEAK::ITALIAN::Goodbye->new();
$obj->hello();
$obj->goodbye();

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).
