> I am calling a module function in login.html that checks user name and

not understand how I could solve this by using method calls.

Your files (that are invoked via Execute ('*') ), defines a method, for
example getstatus, this method returns what ever information is needed, your
status page now can call this method, also the actual file isn't executed so
far:
status.epl:
[-
$r = shift ; # get EMbperl request object
$status = $r -> getstatus ; # retrived status of current page
-]
in your page:
[!
sub getstatus
{
return "What ever you want" ;
}
!]
You may define a default implementation, in your base template, that is
called when the actual page doesn't define a getstatus method:
[!
sub getstatus
{
return "unknown" ;
}
!]
Is this more clear now, or is this not what you need ?
