This one is a bit too much for my little knowledge of how perl works. As part of my upgrade, mentioned in a different thread, I wiped perl and dropped a new version in, then started installing necessary modules. This has been successful, up to the point where I tried to run a CGI script under Apache that used Quantum::Superpositions. It had worked previously, but now I get a big run of errors, listed below.

At first I thought that perhaps Quantum::Superpositions::Conj had been left out of the distribution by mistake, but it is actually included in the 'Superpositions.pm' file, and being found and called. The problem (to my inexperienced eye) seems to be the 'use base' statement in Q::S::Conj. When perl hits 'use base' it tries to find the named package ( Quantum::Superpositions ) but mysteriously fails to look inside the file that it already had loaded to find the Quantum::Superpositions::Conj package.

Help?
