an simple excert from a package that I used in my perl mud.

because this is a learning experience, i'm just giving the skeleton of what i did.:) The ideas will be the same for making dice rolls into a module.

in a file called "comm.pm" which is in the same directory as the main perl script.

package comm;
 ...

sub tell {
   my($client,$argument) = @_;

   ...

   return($output);
  
}

####

and it is used in that main program somethign like this:

use comm;

...

comm::tell($client,$arg);

It actually calls it through a funtion and the above line is completely variable (so that it works from any function call)
