verilog task calling

[zinga]

Hi,
I am having tasks in a particular module in a test bench setup and want to
call those tasks in another module. The question is can I do so by
hierarchical referencing as I do it on signls or do I have to do something
else.

thanks.

uzma, meet zinga. zinga, meet uzma. You two seem to have a lot in
common, perhaps you can get together and work this out?

Yes, you can use a hierarchical reference to a task name in a task call.
This will not be supported by synthesis tools, but should work in the
testbench in a simulator.
