Hello, I have been slowly rewriting my collection of scripts and home made gadgets, and got playing with some new stuff. I found that putting specific functions is specific module files (.pm), then using those (use somefile;) helps keep the over scope of the script a bit more readable, and, at times, reduces the overall size of the 'application' (long story short). So to my question, is there a way to call a specific function from each pm file *when desired*. For example: 
use strict;
use myfirstadin;
use mysecondadin;

print "hello world";
&runonce;

exit;

--------------
myfirstadin.pm

sub runonce {
    print "This is file myfirstadin.";
}
--------------
mysecondadin.pm

sub runonce {
    print "This is file myfirstadin.";
}
--------------

OK, the coding is crap, I just wanted to express it is the simplest terms I could. Ignoring the standard (complaint) errors, is there any way to accomplish the above? I.E. Load all the 'chosen' .pm files with the use, and call the function names runonce later in the main file, causing it to execute in all files where the given function is found (dummy calling, like calling out someone's name in a room and letting everyone with that name answer).
