I commented out use Login and only have use autouse Login => qw(&login &login2); and got the error: Undefined subroutine &main::login called at C:/apache/www/index.pl line 87.

It was okay with use Login uncommented. The code I've is as follows 

######### index.pl
#!C:/perl5.8/bin/perl.exe

use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

use lib 'C:/apache/www/modules';

#use Login;
use autouse Edit  => qw(&login &login2);

my %actions = (
   default  => \&default,
   login    =>  \&login,
   login2    =>  \&login2
);

# Thanks to fruiture for pointing this out...
$query = 'default' unless exists $actions{ $query };

&{ $actions{$query} }

sub default {
  # show default page
}

######### Login.pm
use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

sub login {
  # display login page
}

sub login2 {
  # process login
}

1;

Also, I'm wondering why in the Login.pm it doesn't seem I need the usual exporting stuff as follows: 
# The package declaration and the code to
# do the exporting are absent in Login.pm
# Do I need to put them in?

package Login;

require Exporter;
our  @ISA = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT = qw(&login &login2);

update

Got it to work. I do need the package declaration package Login at the top of Login.pm but I don't need to do any exporting as Login.pm is not used by other scripts for its functions. Also, instead of 

use autouse Edit  => qw(&login &login2);

[download]
I should have 
use autouse Edit  => qw(login login2);

i.e. without the ampersand.

Let me know if I've made any blunders :)
