[MacPerl] confused about use/require and package declarations

[William Neuhauser <willn@quando.com>]

Before MacPerl 5.14r4, this worked:
<main file>
  require 'ctime.pl';
  require 'DateUtil.pl'
<DateUtil.pl>
  require 'ctime.pl';
  package DateUtil;
  sub getDate {
	my ($wkday, $mon, $date, $t, $yr) = split(' ', &ctime::ctime($_[0]));
	return "$MoY_map{$mon}/$date/$yr";
  }

Now, perl complains:
# Undefined subroutine &ctime::ctime called.
File 'BotDates.pl'; Line 4

It seens that no matter where I put the require (before or after the package
declaration) and whether I refer to &ctime::ctime() or just &ctime(), I get
some error message or another such as:
# Undefined subroutine &ctime::ctime called.
# Undefined subroutine &DateUtil::ctime called.

How is one supposed to declare requires across multiple files so that
they are understood in all files?  I feel like I've had to move these
around from perl4 to perl5 now from an earlier perl5 to the current
perl5.  I don't get it.
