Passing functions as arguments requires export?

Hi All,
I'm having some problems working with functions in Erlang. Specifically,
passing functions as arguments. Given the following module:
-module(test).
-export([res/0]).
res() -> lists:map({test,incr}, [0,1,2]).
incr(X) -> X + 1.
I stumbled upon the syntax {test,incr} to pass a (not anonymous) function.
When I go to run this code in the emulator, I get an error that doesn't get
resolved unless I add "incr/1" to the export list. However, there's no
reason to export the function because I don't ever want to call it
directly. What am I missing?
> c(test).
> test:res().
** exception error: undefined function test:incr/1
in function lists:map/2
>
Cheers,
Michal
