Your Module.pm doesn't set up a separate namespace from which functions may be imported by another package. All your functions are compiled into the caller's namespace:

Extending your Module.pm functions slightly

require Exporter; @ISA = qw(Exporter); @EXPORT =qw\fun1 fun2\; @EXPORT_OK = qw\fun3\; @EXPORT_FAIL= qw\fun4\; sub fun1{print "\nfun1 in package " . __PACKAGE__ } sub fun2{print "\nfun2 in package " . __PACKAGE__ } sub fun3{print "\nfun3 in package " . __PACKAGE__ } sub fun4{print "\nfun4 in package " . __PACKAGE__ }

the script

use Module; fun1; fun2; fun3; fun4;

outputs

fun1 in package main fun2 in package main fun3 in package main fun4 in package main

Nothing exported, nothing imported. All is in the default package 'main'.

Use a package statement in your Module.pm:

package Module; require Exporter; @ISA = qw(Exporter); ...

Running the script again yields

fun1 in package Module fun2 in package Module
