I have a large collection of functions that I've put into a module "library." For ease of development, I would like to break the functions up into a few catagories (just so the file doesn't get too large to edit easily). So far, I have one module "Zephir.pm" that gets functions from a few other files and then makes them available to any scripts which "use Zephir;".

Here is the main module "Zephir.pm":

package Zephir;

use strict;

require 'Zephir-General.pl';
require 'Zephir-Cast.pl';
require 'Zephir-Gedit.pl';
require 'Zephir-Auth.pl';
1;
[download]

And here is one of the sub libraries:

package Zephir;

use strict;    

sub do_stuff(){
    # does something profound...
    }
1;
[download]

So, is this the correct way to do this or is there a more elegant way (baring a complete OO overhaul). :-)
