in reply to Using a package within a package
No the use is for the package itself and not the perl script invoking the package.
Just for grins I tried what you are attempting just to see what would happen and when I did a print header with my package having declared use CGI qw/:all/; Perl thought that "header" was a file handle.
That makes perfect sense to me....
