I can't get that to work in my script. ;[ If i "require" a module from my main script, that module can't reach "compress" by simply calling "compress", only by calling "GLOBAL->compress". This is my test setup:

main.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use GLOBAL;
compress "main\n";

require "MODULE.pm";
MODULE->test;

[download]

GLOBAL.pm
package GLOBAL;

use base 'Exporter'
our @EXPORT = qw(compress);

sub compress {
  print shift;
}

1;

[download]
MODULE.pm
package MODULE;

sub test {
  compress "test\n";
}

1;

[download]
Did i just do something wrong is it impossible to use "compress" like this?
