I was wondering if it is possible to create a global function.
(By global I mean a function that is available in all namespaces)

What I would like to be able to do is:

  use Some::Module 'function';
  function "...";

  package Another::Module;
  function "...";

  package Yet::Another::Module;
  function "...";

  ...

[download]

Is this possible? (without importing the function in each package?)

The modules/packages in which the modules is used is not know in front so it is not possible to export them at the start...

So far I've tried to export the function to the CORE::GLOBAL package and to the CORE package but this did not gave the result I want...

Anyone know if this is possible? and/or where I can read about it? and/or how to do it?
