Correct.  You don't understand.  If Freeside didn't use those modules,
we'd have to write code that duplicated their functionality, instead of
spending time writing a billing system.

You didn't install the supplied global.asa, or you didn't enable it, as
per httemplate/docs/install.html:

- Create a Global directory, such as /usr/local/etc/freeside/asp-global/ 
- Copy htetc/global.asa to the Global directory. 
- Configure Apache for the Global directory and to execute .cgi files
  using Apache::ASP.
