For one virutal includes just run the cgi-script and print the output so you can't specify a sub (well you could with some params, but that could get convulted). Secondly virtual includes are more for html files that don't have execute permission already, and are nice for including html templates (like a header file) for example, and will proably just cause a syntax error in a cgi script (will when testing over the command line at least). Require just includes the perl-script in a perl script so you could call the subs normally like they were in the same file.
You should look at Simple Module Tutorial for an even better way to include separate sub routines in multiple perl-scripts. Oh, Welcome to Perlmonks too :).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
