Well, you've got two problems that I see already. First,
my $reg = \INIT();
That takes a reference to the result obtained from invoking that subroutine right there, not a reference to the subroutine itself. If you want a chance of that working, you'll want my $reg = \&subroutinename instead. But, keep reading...

Second, the name "INIT" is reserved. From perldoc perlmod:

"INIT" blocks are run just before the Perl runtime begins execu +tion, in "first in, first out" (FIFO) order. For example, the code gener +ators documented in perlcc make use of "INIT" blocks to initialize an +d resolve pointers to XSUBs.
