I am writing a package to process blocks of text with Lingua::StanfordCoreNLP which uses Inline::Java to create subclasses (Lingua::StanfordCoreNLP::*). In a script everything works well but I've run into a problem with my package.

package Processor;

use Lingua::StanfordCoreNLP;
use strict;
use warnings;

use Class::MakeMethods (
  'Template::Hash:scalar' => [
        'text', 
  ],
  'Template::Hash:object' => [    {
        name=> 'results',
        class=> 'Lingua::StanfordCoreNLP::PipelineSentenceList'
  },  ],

  'Standard::Global:object' => {
        name => 'pipeline',
        class => 'Lingua::StanfordCoreNLP::Pipeline',
  },
);

my $pipeline = new Lingua::StanfordCoreNLP::Pipeline(1, 1);
Processor->pipeline( $pipeline );

sub new {
  my $callee = shift;
  my $package = ref $callee || $callee;
  my $self = shift;
  bless $self, $package;
  return $self;
}

sub process_text {
  my ($self,$text) = @_;
  $self->text( $text ) if $text;
  $self->results( 
    $self->pipeline->process( $self->text )
  );
}

I get the following error message when I use Processor in a script:

Can't locate object method "new" via package "Lingua::StanfordCoreNLP:
+:Pipeline" (perhaps you forgot to load "Lingua::StanfordCoreNLP::Pipe
+line"?)

Not sure why this is happening. syphilis pointed out here, (Re^5: Exporter Problem), that this does not happen using Inline::C.

My current workaround is to have the calling script use Processor, use Lingua::StanfordCoreNLP, then pass a pipeline object to the Processor's constructor. But I'd prefer to have this hidden from the caller.
