SPUG: Calling a file as a sub-routine?

How can I call a separate .pl file into the main as a sub-routine?
I am trying to create separate reusable files instead of listing all of
the routines as subs in a large program.
How do I set up a separate file called outside.pl and then use it as a
subroutine inside the main program called mainProgram.pl?
example:
outside.pl
sub outside {
do something;
}
mainProgram.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
require "outside.pl";
if ($foo = $bar) {
outside.pl;
}
