make sure your module 1 exports the symbol you want

if say..
main.cgi is doing

use TEST1;
use TEST2;

[download]

and TEST1.pm is exporting $dbaccess as... 

package TEST1;

use vars qw{$VERSION @ISA @EXPORT @EXPORT_OK};
require Exporter; @ISA = qw(Exporter); 
@EXPORT = qw($dbaccess);  # just to calling package !
$VERSION = '0.01';
use strict; 

my $dbaccess= 'whatever';

[download]

then TEST2.pm would... 

$main::dbaccess->prepare('yo 5h1+3');

#or .. 

$TEST1::dbaccess->prepare('yo 5h1+3');


# play around.
