[tpm] Fwd: Perl modules

[Shaun Fryer]

without seeing the code, it's hard to know for sure, but my guess would be
you tried to import something (or didn't) for which there's no export. the
&main::whatever is the clue here.

if you're doing something like...

use Foo;
foo_function();

and getting &main::foo_function(), it's because Foo is not automatically
exporting foo_function(). you might try doing.

use Foo;
Foo::foo_function();

or perhaps you meant to do.

use Foo qw(foo_function);

and forgot..?

or use Exporter (et al), or
http://perl.plover.com/TPC/1998/Hardware-notes.html#Manual_Exporting

anyway, that'd be my guess based on available info.

cheers,
