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.
