Just as a note, your module should look like (at least in 5005_03): 
package GLOBAL
use 'Exporter';
@ISA = qw(Exporter); #not always needed, but usually a good practice
@EXPORT = qw(compress);
...

1;

package MODULE

use GLOBAL;
use Exporter;
@ISA = qw(Exporter); #again, usually a good practice.
@EXPORT = qw(test);

sub test {
compress "test\n";
}

1;

I may be incorrect in the new perl 5.6+ world since I'm still using 5.005_03. The only reason I added the use statement to the MODULE package is to make sure that the sub compress is pushed into it.

Hope this helps, but YMMV.
