my understanding was that, and please do correct me if i'm wrong, when i say "use CGI" in my code, it exports everything that was specified in "@EXPORT_OK" list in the CGI.pm module. if sub1 is one of them, then it is imported into my program's symbol table even though i do not know of its existence (ofcourse, i can find out all the functions and varibles imported through 'use')
back to the original question, if i declare and define a sub called sub1 and call it within my program, (again the function calls would be identical too as i don't have to fully qualify calls to subroutines that reside in the package that i import as long as it is imported through 'use package-name') which one is it referring to? how does CGI.pm module ensure that a call to sub1 is answered by it and not the one in my code? or does it even check for such a thing?
