Of course! I've been building perl objects over the last few days and taken
advantage of that property of method calls (obviously), but had forgotten.

Yes, I can access object methods anywhere in the file in which I created
the object even though it has multiple namespaces.

This is probably at the heart of my problem. The subroutine to which I
want to pass the object is not part of a class. It is simply a subroutine
I have separated into a second file and use via a require statement. This
file does not utilize the use pragma to import modules (correct
terminology)? Is this perhaps the problem? Maybe the namespace in this
other file doesn't have access to the module? If so how can I give it
access? I have noticed that if my object is declared globally I can use it
to access object methods in a separate file that does not have an explicit
use pragma. However, I don't want to use a global variable and strict
won't let me anyway (unless i tempoarily disable it?)
