(Please bottom-post your responses to this list, so that extended threads remain comprehensible. Thank you.) Then I suggest that perhaps the 'use' statement in your functioning program had no double-colons in the module name. This is from perldoc -f require, which is what 'use' employs to load the module: > If [the module] is a bareword, the require assumes a ".pm" > extension and > replaces "::" with "/" in the filename for you, to make it easy > to load standard modules. So use XML::Handler::YAWriter; would make 'require' search for a file 'XML/Handler/YAWriter.pm' in any of the directories in @INC. Even if @INC included '/path/to/pm', a file '/path/to/pm/YAWriter.pm' would not be found: instead it would have to exist as '/path/to/pm/XML/Handler/YAWriter.pm'.
