Welp, if &subroutine_1 is in Library1.pm,
then within Library2.pm, you could do something like:
sub subroutine_2 {
require "/path/to/Library1.pm";
&subroutine_1;
}

That depends:
First you have to load the file via 'require' or 'use' - perldoc them.
If your other .pm creates its own namespace, you need to addre
is in file2.pm.
Neither suggestion has worked so far, any other ideas out there?
Thanks.

Does your file1.pm have "use file2" in it?

Try throwing this into file2.pm:
sub AUTOLOAD {
print "What hath god wrought?\n"
}
And then call:
file2->any_function_name;
That is if you have a:
use file2;
AUTOLOAD is a catch all function, method really, but this should work

Given A.pm

package A;
sub a { return "a!\n"; }
1;

and B.pm

package B;
use A;
sub b { print A::a(); }
