I have a problem in a package that is trying to use a subroutine from a file that has been imported using "require". for some reason I cannot make a call to the sub. The Structrue goes somehting like this:

main.pl 

  use mypack;
  require /somepath/myperlscript.pl;
  my $x= new mypack();
  print $x->get_y();

[download]
mypack.pm 
  my $y = &subroutinefrom_myperlscript();
  $self->set_y($y);

[download]
can anyone tell me how I can get the &subroutinefrom_myperlscript() to be invoked - I am sure I have the syntax wrong and am convinced I can use libraries of perl pl files within a package (or this a plbcak?) many thanks, in desparation considertheant

update (broquaint): added <code> tags
