Does your module work with a blessed references, or it a module 
containing methods?

The above declaration is for OO coded modules that utilize blessed 
references.

If your module doesn't use blessed references you should try using Exporter.

Exporter pollutes the module namespace a bit so maybe it isn't such a 
purist thing to use but the alternative is to call a method explicitly 
like: MyModule::foo(...)

    perldoc Exporter
