For some reason I can't seem to get a sub to export into my main program. I'm probably just doing something stupid. Here's the code:
package AAIB::Login;
# this is a little login routine that I'm using
use strict; 
use Exporter;
my @ISA = ('Exporter');
my @EXPORT_OK = qw(authenticate);
# I've also tried @EXPORT = qw(authenticate);
# etc ...(returns a hash)

[download]

And then my main program: 
use strict;
# use a bunch of other modules
use AAIB::Login qw(authenticate);
my %usr = authenticate();

[download]

Then at that point the program crashes saying "Undefined subroutine &main::authenticate;. Its very frustrating I have a similar program that does basically the same thing and it imports the subs just fine. Can anyone spot the error?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
