Call the function without parens. When you use the module, the functions get defined at compile-time.

Removing the parentheses when calling "referrer()" instead of the properly (for CGI.pm) spelled referer() seems to have no effect. Perl only catches the error at runtime.

[tye]

japhy's suggestion only works if you are importing the functions from CGI and not using the OO interface.
