That shouldn't be a problem. Just `use options` in those modules as
well.
There is a convention with modules, and someone might be better able to
explain it than me, where the name-space is broken up a bit. So rather
than
use options.pm; (it's your current directory).
use YourApp::Options; (It's in a folder called YourApp which is listed
in your lib path).
You dont' have to do this of course. This is Perl, there is more than
one way to do it, however these sorts of convention usually come about
for a good reason.
Good luck,
Dp.
