[Israel.pm] getting both compilation error and uninitializederrors

[Yossi Itzkovich]

Thanks,
Indeed the warnings were of a used module, and then came the syntax
errors in the main script

Perl evaluates things at compile time:

* explicit BEGIN blocks
* modules loaded with use statements

In the case of modules, the code that gets run at compile time is the
module file-level, as well as its import routine if it exists. And, of
course, its own BEGIN and use thingies, recursively.
