Hi,

I have created a file called system_mod_includes.pm and the contents of the file are as below:

#
#   System Modules
#
use CGI;
use HTML::Template;
use File::stat;
use File::Type;
use File::Temp;
use JSON;
use Time::Local;
use POSIX 'strftime';
use XML::Simple;
use XML::Parser;
use IO::Socket::INET;
use Digest::MD5 qw(md5 md5_hex md5_base64);
use Data::Dumper;
use Net::SMTP;
use Net::SMTP::TLS;
use MIME::Base64;
use Compress::Zlib;
use URI::Escape;
use Locale::Country;
use Socket;
use HTML::Entities;
use List::Util qw[min max];
use IO::Uncompress::Gunzip qw(gunzip $GunzipError);
use IO::Compress::Gzip qw(gzip $GzipError);
1;
[download]

Then I have another module called Utils.pm. In this module I am using a function of perl module Data::Dumper.

For example as below:

print Dumper(%HASH);
[download]

OR

print Data::Dumper(%HASH);
[download]

But this gives me error saying the function Dumper is unknown.

But use Data::Dumper is already defined in system_mod_includes.pm.

The error however goes away if I defined use Data::Dumper in Utils.pm as well.
