"without the mess of Module..."

What mess? Personally I find the use of required programs abhorable when creating modules is SOOOOOOO easy. While there are many things to consider when building a module for other programmer's consumption, just doing the following will get you a long way toward better more professional code:

Simply add the following lines to the top of your code: 

package MyModule::Name;
require Exporter; 
use strict; 
use warnings; 
use vars qw( @ISA @EXPORT ); 
@ISA = qw( Exporter ); 
@EXPORT = qw( 
               func1
               func2
               func3
);

You'll want to replace MyModule::Name with your own app namespace and unique module name and then also replace the func1, func2, and func3 lines with the names ( and any additional ) functions your code has.

Then it's a simple: 

use lib qw( /path/to/module/source ); 
use MyModule::Name;

[download]

in your application. What's so hard about that?

You'll also need to add a '1;' at the end of your source that has been mentioned here previously.

P.S. This is a simple example that does not take into consideration name space polution and other best practices.
