Hi monks, I have 2 modules, say A & B. Each of these modules have a function "just_print" . I have another perl program "my_prog" which calls this function depending on the user input, meaning - if user executes my_prog A , "just_print" function of A should be executed, if user executes my_prog B , "just_print" function of module B should be executed. How can I do this ? It seems to me a easy question but actually it is not. I have been struggling with this the whole day. Now this 'just_print' function has a call to 'main_print' function which is present in 'my_prog'. How can I execute this ? main::main_print gives me errors. Below is the pseudocode : 
my_prog.pl
----------
use A
use B
if <arg1> {
A.just_print("hi")
}else if <arg2> {
B.just_print("hello")
}

sub main_print(){
print @_;
}

A.pm
----
package A
sub just_print(){
print @_;
main::main_print(); <-- error
}
B.pm
----
package B
sub just_print(){
print @_;
main::main_print(); <-- error
}
