perldiverx has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I've created a module using Class::Accessor and I've used the 'antlers' pragma to use the Moose style interface for creating attributes, but I'm having a problem exporting these attributes. Per the documentation I've used extends on the attributes, but I can't seem to get them into the script that I'm using them in. I get a message stating that Perl 'Can't locate package transaction_type for @Monro::CC::ISA at C:/Perl/lib/Class/Accessor.pm line 36 (#1)'. Sample: 
package Monro::CC;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Class::Accessor "antlers";

extends(qw/transaction_type/); 

has transaction_type => (
    is => 'rw',
);

[download]
And part of the script that utilizes this: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Monro::CC;

my $transaction_info = read_psin();
my @transaction_info = @{$transaction_info};

my $trans_obj = Monro::CC->new(
    transaction_type => $transaction_info[0],
);

    Hi,

    with the line

    extends(qw/transaction_type/);

    [download]

    you say that you want to inherit from a package with name transaction_type. And the error message stats

     'Can't locate package transaction_type for @Monro::CC::ISA at C:/Perl
+/lib/Class/Accessor.pm line 36 (#1)'

    [download]

    which says that you don't have a module called transaction_type in the INC path.

      I thought about that when I created this initially, however the documentation on CPAN tells me to replace  @ISA = qw /Foo Bar/; with extends qw(/Foo Bar/);
      Even when I change this to your recommendation the script still warns that it cannot locate the package.

        Do you have a package called transaction_type? There must be something like transaction_type.pm somewhere in your INC path.
