SPUG: Using import() as init under mod_perl

How does Perl know to call new() when it encounters a 'use CGI;' (assuming
the module had already been previously loaded elsewhere)? I could just
instruct the module users to call a Module->init(), but I wanted to handle
the issue behind the scenes. import() seemed like a good candidate.
