Hi Monks,

I'm trying out with a script that calls module which stores a hash of country information. The following is my sample code: 
#script.pl
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
#use strict;

use CGI qw(:standard);

eval {
  ($0 =~ m,(.*)/[^/]+,) && unshift (@INC, "$1");    
  require 5.001;                
  require "module.pm";
};

if ($@) {
  die("Error including libraries: $@\n");
}

msg();

sub msg {
  print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
  print "<html>\n";
  print "<head>\n";
  print "<title>Country</title>\n";
  print "</head>\n";
  print "<body bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\" text=\"#000000\">";
  print "$country{'af'}<br>\n";
  print "</body>\n</html>\n";
}

# module.pm

# module.pm

%country = (
  af => 'afghanistan',
  ao => 'angola',
  ar => 'argentina',
  at => 'austria',
  au => 'australia',
  bd => 'bangladesh',
  be => 'belgium',
  bg => 'bulgaria',
);

When I enable 'strict', the code doesn't work. I tried to declare the hash %country with 'my' but it doesn't help. I figured it's something to do with Exporter but I'm not quite sure how that's done.

Please advise and thanks in anticipation =)
