I am trying to get my head around creating my own module. I have got the following out of the Perl Cookbook and am having some difficulties. I have gone through SuperSearch but have not been able to find my answers

Given the following module which I called Test.pm and located in the c:/perl/site/lib dir ...

##Test Module
package Test;
use strict;
use warnings;
require Exporter;
use vars qw(@ISA @EXPORT);
my @ISA     = qw(Exporter);
my @EXPORT     = qw(
            Prt
            Time
            );

sub Prt
{
    my $string = shift;
    print &Time() . "- $string\n";
}

sub Time
{
    my @localdate    = localtime(time);
    my $tme = sprintf("%02d:%02d:%02d", $localdate[2], $localdate[1], 
+$localdate[0]);
    return($tme);
}
1;

I am using the following code to try and call a subroutine and pass it a string(only for this VERY BASIC test)..

#! /usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Test;

print "About to use Module\n";
&Prt("This is a test in the Mod");
print "Finished\n";
[download]

This is what I get...

About to use Module
Undefined subroutine &main::Prt called at C:\dev\Source_Perl\MiscTests
+\mod.pl line 8.
[download]

I tried changing line 8. to

&Test::Prt("This is a test in the Mod");
[download]

as well as

Test::Prt("This is a test in the Mod");

as was suggested in a previous post but still get the same output.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
