Thanks for the comments, this is great here is my updated code 
module

package Printname;

use strict;
use warnings;

use parent qw/ Exporter /;

our @EXPORT_OK = qw/ print_name /;

sub print_name { 
     my($name) = @_;
   print "\nHello, $name\n";
     
}

1;

script 
#!/usr/bin/perl

package main;

use strict;
use warnings;
use lib "C:/Perl64/lib/printname";
use lib "C:/Perl64/site/lib/printname";
use PrintName qw/ print_name /;

print_name("John");

error C:\Scripts>perl testmodule.pl Undefined subroutine &main::print_name called at testmodule.pl line 11. line 11 is print_name("John"); I tried calling the subroutine from within the module itself but it didn't make a difference. Thanks
