The SelfLoader documentation suggests you use SelfLoader rather than require() it, because it does stuff in its import() method. Also, the docs state that there is no need to inherit from the module (so you needn't say @ISA = qw( SelfLoader ).

The warning you get is because you added it to the inheritance tree, and Perl found SelfLoader::AUTOLOAD, and it's generally a bad idea to inherit an AUTOLOAD for functions rather than methods. It's all OO stuff. Here's code that works for me:

package common;

use SelfLoader;
require Exporter;

@ISA = qw( Exporter );
@EXPORT = qw( process_error );

__DATA__
sub process_error {
  print "foo!\n";
}
