Monks. If I write and employ a package, e.g., MYPACKAGE.PM, and within that package use other standard perl packages, like this: 

package MYPACKAGE;
use DBI;
use CGI;
[several sub routines follow]
1;

Do I "carry" modules DBI, CGI.PM, and their symbol tables, or others I name (their functions, routines, etc), into a script by merely declaring the MYPACKAGE.PM within it, as in: 

#!/usr/bin/perl5
use MYPACKAGE.PM;
print header;###from CGI.PM
start_html(blah, blah, blah);###from CGI.PM
MYPACKAGE::connect();###connecting to mySQL from a subroutine in MYPAC
+KAGE.PM

[download]

Or do I have to re-state use DBI; use CGI.PM in the script? Red------
