global.pm isn't exporting the symbol names it's defining.
if you were to refer to global::checkUser() in one of your scripts, and it
worked, then mebbe an EXPORT() list for global.pm is in order
so that the function names get defined in the package
(Apache::ROOT::compar_2ecgi, made up by apache on the spot)
that is accessing them.
