You need to terminate your module with a true stmt - usually that means
adding a line at the end :
1;
You could also fix the front up a bit with something like:
use strict;
package main;
use Exporter();
our @ISA = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT = qw(sub0 sub1); # you can put the most frequent
subs here
our @EXPORT_OK = qw(sub2 sub3); # the rest here where you
explicitly have to include them
our %EXPORT_TAGS = (all => [EMAIL PROTECTED], @EXPORT_OK]); # you
can group subs here
our $VERSION = 0.01;
