Here's your first problem: you can't perform a dynamic call (which is
what the CALL opcode does) to a module.  You have to do a static call;
which as you rightly point out, you can do with CALLB.

As I described above: CALL does look for a program.

Well, this ought to work if the program is bound correctly.  Could you
post the details of your error message?

Not necessarily (CALLB _should_ work), though there are advantages to
doing so.
