In addition to toolic's fine advice sometimes I like to fully qualify the calls; exporting nothing. Especially where the module is used in a single point in a longish bit of code. Saves a trip/grep around. So- `use Date::Calc (); # 500 lines of unrelated fun. my @what_what = Date::Calc::Today_and_Now();` [download] (update, added comment, fixed typo.)	[reply] [d/l]

If you do not care about namespace collisions, you can just use the `:all` tag to import all symbols: `use Date::Calc qw(:all);` [download] Generally, it is better practice to only import the functions you need: `use Date::Calc qw(check_date Add_Delta_Days);` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you Monk. That was exactly what I was looking for. I will import only the functions I need. Regards, Rakhee	[reply]
