Gossamer Forum: Products: Gossamer Links: Development, Plugins and Globals: Inherit subroutine in plugin

Is it possible for a plugin hook to call a routine in the original code, so I do not have to maintain a local copy in my plugin code?

For example, in my plugin.pm file I have this:

Code:
sub search_results_hook { 
... 
return search(); 
} 

sub search { 
# ------------------------------------------------------------------ 
# Do the search and print out the results. 
# 
    my $results = query(); 
    if (defined $results->{error}) { 
        print $IN->header(); 
        $results->{main_title_loop} = Links::Build::build('title', Links::language('LINKS_SEARCH'), "$CFG->{db_cgi_url}/search.cgi"); 
        print Links::SiteHTML::display('find_entertainment', $results); 
    } 
    else { 
        print $IN->header(); 
        $results->{main_title_loop} = Links::Build::build('title', Links::language('LINKS_SEARCH_RESULTS'), "$CFG->{db_cgi_url}/search.cgi"); 
        print Links::SiteHTML::display('search_results', $results); 
    } 
    if ($CFG->{debug_level} > 1) { 
        print "<blockquote><pre>", GT::SQL->query_stack_disp , "</pre></blockquote>"; 
    } 
}

The routine search() is a copy from GTs 'Search.pm' with 2 minor edits.
1) I do not call plugin hook or I would have a circular reference.
2) On error, I want to return to my template, not search.html

Now the question :-)
The routine query() is an exact copy of the routine from GTs code.
I have a local copy in my code. If I delete it, I get errors.
Is there a way to call query() from my code if query() resides in Search.pm?

Thanks,
