I want to start to move some of my functions over to a separate module. So I created the simplest of ones, just to build up from there. However no how hard I try, my already working Perl module "upload.pl" fails if I add "use Ssbase;" to it. And of course it works if I remove that line.

I have tried everything in that, they're all in the same directory, I've set the permissions to Ssbase to 777, the user and group to www-data, etc.

I've even tried taking everything out of the package other than the name line, and the 1; line.

I'm so befuddled and angry that I can't do anything else!

package Ssbase;

require Exporter;
use strict;
use CGI;

no warnings 'uninitialized';

our @ISA = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT = qw(justReturn);

sub justReturn {
    return 0;
}

1;
