Thank you. So it broke using the variables in main stating that it must be called main::$LOGFH.

As for using require do you think this would work?
Orignal:

use diagConfig; #$sourcepath, %files, trimwhitespace, cleanupWincuri, 
+$WINCURI, $PLINK, $CLI
open my $LOGFH ,">", $files{log}{file};
#disable write buffer
my $stdout = select($LOGFH);
$| = 1;
select($stdout);

use VolumeManager (\$LOGFH, \$writelog);
use Initiator (\$LOGFH, \$writelog);

my $vm = VolumeManager->new();
my $init = Initiator->new();

Require:

use diagConfig; #$sourcepath, %files, trimwhitespace, cleanupWincuri, 
+$WINCURI, $PLINK, $CLI
open my $LOGFH ,">", $files{log}{file};
#disable write buffer
my $stdout = select($LOGFH);
$| = 1;
select($stdout);

require VolumeManager;
VolumeManager->import(\$LOGFH, \$writelog);
my $vm = VolumeManager->new();
require Initiator;
Initiator->import(\$LOGFH, \$writelog);
my $init = Initiator->new();
