Not sure what you mean by this.

This is possible as long your script has this statement
use ABC;

If ABC always exports xyz, you don't have to do anything extra. If you 
have to explicitly ask for xyz from ABC, change the use statement to
use ABC qw(xyz);

perldoc perlmod
perldoc perlmodlib

Look for information about @EXPORT and @EXPORT_OK

The module must be installed somewhere before you can push the module
