you can check the code for my module under this node. Apart from some small changes (dumb stuff like returning my $class instead of $self) it's pretty much the same.

The script I'm calling it from is stripped back to: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use lib '/home/iordy/perl.iordy.net';

use strict;
use iXML::TheConstruct;
use Apache::Request;

my $r = Apache->request;
my $apr = Apache::Request->new($r);

my $construct = iXML::TheConstruct->new();

[download]

regardless of where I have 'my $r = Apache->request;' it tells me It cannot find the method "new()" under module Apache::Request;.

now I have written stuff (1 or 2 things only; I'm new to perl) in this manner before but I have never done it with a module I have written myself (the module shown in the node listed above is my first ever attempt.)

so I'm stumped as to why this would be happening.
