#!/usr/local/bin/perl
print "In the main package\n";
#require "program";
&program::simple();
die;



package program;
print "how to print this";
sub simple {
                print "Hi from program::simple\n\n";
           }

As expected the output is
In the main package
Hi from program::simple

Died at ./x.pl line 5.

Question: I would like to execute the block of code in program package which is not contained in any subroutine

ie.. I would like it to print 'how to print this' which is not in any subroutine... Thus I want to uncomment line require 'program'. Both the package have to be in the same file.
Looking the help of fellow monks.
Thanks..
