Either of those should be ok. If you decide to export the sub later,
you'd need to call it from Mason.

Ok, I don't see how the first one could work with the code you've
shown. You're defining the sub in a package, so you either have to
export it or call it with the fully-qualified path, like you do in the
second case.
If you're not familiar with this stuff, read up on exporting in the
perlmod man page or your favorite Perl book.
If you use the second syntax everywhere, I think this problem will go
away. The issue is with the sub being available in your current
namespace, not with loading the module.
