Thanks for the comments ,OO solution was great ! why didnt I think of this before ? studpid me ! ok - while we are on the topic, consider this code : 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use standard;
use nonstandard;
my $option = "standard";
my_print("i m in main\n");
$option::just_print(); <-- error :syntax error at main.pl   near "$opt
+ion::just_print("

sub my_print(){
 print @_;
}

package nonstandard;

sub just_print{
print "in just_print nonstandard \n";
main::my_print("calling my_print from nonstandard\n");
}
1;
package standard;

sub just_print{
print "in just_print standard \n";
main::my_print("calling my_print from standard\n");
}
1;

$option::just_print( ) gives errors, so I did this : my $a = "&"."$adaption"."::just_print()"; eval $a; Is their any better way to do this(apart from our great OO) ?(consider that the two packages have 10-15 functions having similar names,so executing it in the above way is not a good way) I guess, you guys have already answered this..but just for clarification sake
