Yes, exactly. To elaborate on Anonymous Monk’s answer:

12:41 >perl -Mstrict -wE "package myPackage; sub function1 { myPackage +::function2('Hi!'); } sub function2 { say qq[@_]; } function1();" Hi! 12:41 >perl -Mstrict -wE "package myPackage; sub function1 { function2 +('Hi!'); } sub function2 { say qq[@_]; } function1();" Hi! 12:41 >perl -Mstrict -wE "package myPackage; sub function1 { myPackage +->function2('Hi!'); } sub function2 { say qq[@_]; } function1();" myPackage Hi! 12:41 >

Within the package, prepending myPackage:: to a function name is merely redundant. But prepending myPackage-> changes the behaviour: it passes the package name to the function as the first argument.

Hope that helps,
