There is no added value trying to make a module
only available for one subroutine,
I'd 'use' them (modules) all at the top of the script.
(for readability and maintainance reasons).
Try this and note how Data::Dumper module is available from suby,
Even though it was 'used' inside subx.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
&suby();
sub subx{
use Data::Dumper;
}
sub suby{
print Data::Dumper->Dump([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
}
_END__
