in thread use constant and exporter

Well, that explains it. use Foo does this: 
BEGIN {
    require Foo;
    Foo->import;
}

If you use OO, require will find your module, but of course the module will still create the Data::Validator::OO package and not an OO package, causing the following OO->import to fail (silently).

    Yah, the funny thing is, I think I knew about that once... then forgot about it... Oh well... thanks for the suggestions, at least your versions are better looking than mine. Encouraged me to clean up what I had :)


    My code doesn't have bugs, it just develops random features.
