I'm trying to implement XML::Writer to help dump a MySQL database to XML format, however I'm getting the following error:

Can't locate object method "new" via package "XML::Writer" at /apollo/volume/software/application/artemis/bin/KapowStarter.pl line 371.

I'm implementing the code as a subroutine, but when I initially had it running locally as it's own script it was functioning just file. Here's the spot of code that is giving me the problems. FYI, I did load the module at the beginning of the script (use XML::Writer;) and it is installed. It seems that it is trying to find the 'new()' function within the XML::Writer module, but can't find it. No clue why not. Thanks in advance for the help! 
sub SQLtoXML { 
 
  $log->debug("Attempting to pull from MySQL DB and write to XML.." . 
+"\n"); 
 
  #Parameter being passed is the Source ID to check against the Databa
+se and final directory for XML file. 
  my $PassedSource = $_[0]; 
  my $FinalDir = $_[1]; 
 
  my $FileName = ""; 
   
  #Set up temporary XML output file for XML::Writer 
  my $output = IO::File->new(">output.xml"); 
 
  #Initiate XML::Writer 
  my $writer = XML::Writer->new(OUTPUT => $output);
