code jump does not work for main::

Note the below code.

use lib ("../../data/chgmgmt");
use cm;
...
main::create_cm_header($breadcrumbs);  // cannot code jump

When I hold down the crtl key and click create_cm_header the editor does
not jump to the referenced method.  If I remove 'main::' the code jump works
fine. It jumps to the method within the cm module.

create_cm_header($breadcrumbs);  // can code jump

I inherited a lot of code that has this in it.  Is there a way to get EPIC
to jump correctly without modifying all the files?  The code does execute
correctly.

Thanks for any help!

Are you saying that the module 'cm' defines a subroutine 'create_cm_header'
which belongs to the 'main' package (rather than to the 'cm' package)?

All the subroutines are exported by default, so that loads them into the
‘main’ memory space.  ‘main’ is the default space. The cm.pm module
is using @EXPORT as opposed to @EXPORT_OK.  So by using @EXPORT = qw(create_cm_header),
create_cm_header is automatically loaded into main.
