what you want to learn about are
%EXPORT_TAGS
and
@EXPORT_OK
so that you can 'group functions' in a large perl module. This
way you can have things like
use FOO::BAR qw/:std :fancy/;
and get two sets of functions.
What you can try is
use FOO::BAR;
my $answer = &FOO::BAR::some_one_function(@arg_list);
or
use FOO::BAR;
...
my $that_func = \&FOO::BAR::some_one_function;
....
my $answer = $that_func->(@arg_list);
but you may want to do some review about how you got your 'one big
package' and whether it might be time to do some review of what all
really needs to be where.... the eternal 'one or more' problem.
