[erlang-questions] erl -s and erlang program distribution

Hello once again :)

Please let me know if I'm asking too many questions!

man erl says if I use the -s (or the -run) flag and pass it a module 
name, it should load that module and look for a function
start/0

I have a module called mysqlha, and amongst other functions, it exports 
start/0

However, neither of these work:
$ erl -s mysqlha
$ erl -s mysqlha start
$ erl -run mysqlha
$ erl -eval 'mysqlha:start().'

In all cases, I get the usual erlang interpreter

I'm using erl R11B on Fedora Core 5 (package is erlang-0.1.fc5), on x86, 
if any of that helps you guys..

If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'll be grateful :)

Regards,

Fernando.
