OK...I did try to write package and could compile without error.. but when I tried to run, I got

Undefined subroutine &main::ret called at test.pl line 11.

Here is my sample code - 

package nu;
use Exporter;
@ISA = qw( Exporter );
@EXPORT_OK = qw( &ret );
my $action = $ARGV[0];
sub ret{
  my $str = $action ? $action : 'Nop';
  return $str;
}

 1;

Now I have another script where I want to call ret function from above package. Here is what I am doing - 
----
---
use lib '/mydir/lib';
use nu;

my $gat = ret('one4u');
print "Value is $gat \n";
----
---

Can some one pointout where I am going wrong please?
