At my company the have departmentalized code... I.E. we have to talk to other department's code that we can't edit. The code that we used to use to access these was a hack job that required the file it needed on every call to the FCGI. This is terribly inefficient, so we fixed it. however...

The .pl files we were requiring are all in the main:: scope, and there are function names that collide, creating havoc. I would like to force each .pl into it's own namespace, and am not sure how (short of making a wrapper .pl file that declares a package). 

package foo;
require './foo.pl';
package main;

was suggested, but doesn't work right, since inside the require perl drops back to the container package, main::

I think I can fix this by making an object oriented interface, but does anyone know a way to do it with the requires? Whitout making a stub file for each?
