I'm trying to re-use some code by using a module, and it seems to work until I try to put it in a folder.

For example, when my the app.pl and My_Module.pm are in the same directory (i.e. /path/to/dir/app.pl and /path/to/dir/My_Module.pm), it works fine when I put use My_Module; in app.pl.

But as soon as I move My_Module.pm to a directory IN the app directory (i.e. /path/to/dir/My_Module_Folder/My_Module.pm), the functions don't seem to import. In app.pl, I am putting use My_Module_Folder::My_Module;, and it compiles fine, but I get an error when I try to use a function from My_Module.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I can move the module file to the app dir, but I would like to keep things organized.

Thanks!
