my apology. It was a copy/paste typo:

sub authorize {
   print "TEST1\n";
   # For debugging purposes only
#  &log_request_attributes;

   # Here's where your authorization code comes
   # You can call another function from here:
   &test_call;

   return RLM_MODULE_OK;
}

# Function to handle authenticate
sub authenticate {
   print "TEST2\n";
   # For debugging purposes only
#  &log_request_attributes;

   if ($RAD_REQUEST{'User-Name'} =~ /^baduser/i) {
      # Reject user and tell him why
      $RAD_REPLY{'Reply-Message'} = "Denied access by rlm_perl function";
      return RLM_MODULE_REJECT;
   } else {
      # Accept user and set some attribute
      $RAD_REPLY{'h323-credit-amount'} = "100";
      return RLM_MODULE_OK;
   }
}
