[ic] newbie question: subroutines

[Nick Ohanian]

Hello again-
	Here is an example of my problem, regarding GlobalSubs.  There was one
already in my interchange.cfg file, and it looks likes this:

GlobalSub sub test_global_sub { return 'Test of global subroutine OK.'; }

Pretty easy, eh?  So I use a perl tag in a page that looks like this:

[perl]
return test_global_sub();
[/perl]<br>

Now when I try to serve this page, nothing is displayed.  I get the
following in error.log (in the catalog directory):

66.12.71.6 rbuCIMHW:66.12.71.6 - [01/March/2001:16:06:29 -0800] imp
/cgi-bin/imp/catalog.html Safe: Unable to create sub named
"*MVSAFE::test_global_sub" at (eval 236) line 2.
>
>
> return test_global_sub();
>

I can't figure out what is causing this error.  Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.  Thanks so much.
