In "Package1.pm":

package Package1;

sub foo { ... }

1;


Then "Package2.pm":

package Package2;

sub bar { ... }
sub baz { ... }

1;


Make sure the directory containing those .pms is in PERL5LIB (or add
an appropriate 'use lib "whereever"' line, or use -I on the command
line) and just 'use Package1;' and call Package1::foo( ... ).  If you
don't want to fully qualify names every time, read perldoc Exporter
(and see perldoc perlmod for more details on writing modules OOP or
no).
