Hi Monks!
I am trying to create a module to use in all me Perl programs, but I can't get it to work, can someone take a look at it and give some advice and also how it should properly be called in my scripts.
Thanks a lot! 
package NewError;

use strict;
use vars qw($VERSION @ISA @EXPORT @EXPORT_OK);

require Exporter;

@ISA = qw(Exporter AutoLoader);
# Items to export into callers namespace by default. Note: do not expo
+rt
# names by default without a very good reason. Use EXPORT_OK instead.
# Do not simply export all your public functions/methods/constants.

@EXPORT = qw(log_error std_log_error);

#$VERSION = sprintf "%d.%03d", q$Revision: 1.6 $ =~ /: (\d+)\.(\d+)/;
$VERSION = '0.01';

# Define global variables
use vars qw( $curr_dir $work_file $log_file $std_log_file);
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
+------------
# Grab the current directory from $0.  The following regular expressio
+n
# looks for 'CURR_DIR\xxxxx.xxx' or 'CURR_DIR/xxxxx.xxx'.  Place it in
# the BEGIN block so we can use it to include modules
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
+------------


BEGIN {
  $0 =~ '(.*[\\\/])\w+\.\w+$';
  $curr_dir = $1 || "./";
  }

sub log_error{

  # Set up error log file
  $log_file = "error_log.txt";
  use CGI::Carp qw(carpout);
  open(LOG, ">>${curr_dir}${log_file}")
        or die "Unable to append to error log: $!";
  carpout(*LOG);

} ##### End Sub log_error


sub std_log_error{

#This will log general errors generated as example by user interaction

my @data = @_;

$std_log_file = "error_log_std.txt";

my ( $year, $mon, $day, $hr, $min, $sec) = Today_and_Now();
my $timestamp = sprintf "%02d-%02d-%02d:%02d:%02d:%02d ", $mon, $day, 
+($year - 2000), $hr, $min, $sec;

open(LOG_FILE, ">>${curr_dir}${std_log_file}") 
         or die "Unable to append to error log: $!";
         
print LOG_FILE $timestamp, @data, "\n";

close( LOG_FILE );

} #### End Sub std_log_error
