What package is the main script in?

Hi Folks,
Does anyone know what the package name is for a script running under Apache::Registry? I'm trying to access a subroutine in a custom perl module I've written.
In simple terms, here's what I'm doing:
Main Script
our %G;
$G{'dirs'}{'template'} = '/home/username/safe/templates/';
use Custom::Common; # contains sub Error
use Custom::Template; # contains sub Load_Template
my %args = (template => 'template_filename.html');
my $template;
unless($template = &Load_Template(\%args)) {
# print error message here
}
package Custom::Template
sub Load_Template {
my $arg_ref = shift;
# test access to template file
my $file = $main::G{'dirs'}{'template'} . $arg_ref->{'template'};
unless (-e $file) {
&main::Error({ msg => "Load_Template: requested template file ($file) does not exist.",
actions => 'collect_all log_msg email_developer' });
return 0;
}
}
What's happening is that the reference to main:: isn't correct, so the path to $file is not correct. Since the path is not correct, the -e file test returns false. The call to &main::Error is unable to find sub Error and leaves this message in the error log: "Undefined subroutine &main::Error called at /home/username/safe/pm/Custom/Template.pm line 32"
sub Error is exported into package main properly, and this system works fine when run as a CGI script.
I'm guessing that the problem is the reference to main::, when in fact it's probably the Apache handler subroutine which is in main and my "main" script is in some other package. Any suggestions? Thanks.
