errors using the PDF function in a module

Dear Mathgroup,
I have been attempting to utilize the statistics distribution
functions within a module without much success. The code that I have
been using is 

	npdf[x_] := PDF[NormalDistribution[0,1],x]

(from David Deutsch's viewing distributions article)

The code works fine when you use it directly into mathmatica, but
returns errors when it is embedded in a module. The error returned is
'compiled code is not a real number ...'

Any suggestions as to how to overcome this error would be greatly
appreciated 

Regards

Ian Heddle
