Sure-- this stuff works ok almost all the time. The sporadic behavior is one that is hard to describe, really. But, to answer your question, here's some code: (note the inclusion of the Register module)

MyUserProfile.pm

package MyUserProfile;
require Exporter;

our @ISA        = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT     = qw(ProfileGet ProfileSave ProfileEdit ProfileUpdate
                        ProfileFix ProfileExtract ProfileFixContactInf
+o
                        $user_data $contact_strings, @contact_info);
our $VERSION    = 1.00;

use MyErrors;
use CGI;
use Register qw(PrintTemplate RegisterChange RegisterAcctPath Register
+SetupUser
                EDIT_PROFILE VIEW_IMAGES read_user_db);
use MyUtils qw(:DEFAULT);

Now, here's a snippet from Register:

Register.pm

[...]
use MyUserProfile qw(:DEFAULT);
[...sometime later in some function...]
my $acct_data = MyUserProfile::ProfileGet($acct);
[...]

[download]

Even though ProfileGet() is properly exported, I can't just call it without perl complaining about Register.pm calling an undefined function. I have to use it in the form above to get it to shup up (and work). But this is the frustrating part: it's not ALWAYS the case. Sometimes, functions can be called directly, whereas other times, maybe not. Maybe there's a pattern to when it works and when it doesn't, but suffice to say, I can't see it (hence, the appearance of randomness).

Could the inter-dependence on the modules to one another be causing this, or point to the direction of the problem?
