Modules may or may not export all of their namespace when they are used.
You may have seen something like this:
use CGI qw( :cgi );
Which is setting which stuff to export. I'm sure a quick glance through
the CBGB_File [I know it's wrong ...] should let you know how you can
export it. Or you might just need to call it explictly like you are.

BIRTH, n. The first and direst of all disasters. As to the nature of
it there appears to be no uniformity. Castor and Pollux were born
from the egg. Pallas came out of a skull. Galatea was once a block
of stone. Peresilis, who wrote in the tenth century, avers that he
grew up out of the ground where a priest had spilled holy water. It
is known that Arimaxus was derived from a hole in the earth, made by a
stroke of lightning. Leucomedon was the son of a cavern in Mount
Aetna, and I have myself seen a man come out of a wine cellar.
