Hello, I am tired and my brain is having a short circuit. Why does adding the import method break the program? It looks strange to me too, but when I leave the method out, it seems to work...

# Foo
package Foo ;
require Exporter ;
our @ISA = qw( Exporter ) ;
our @EXPORT_OK = qw( saySomethingElse ) ;

# Add this method and it breaks
# sub import {
#     my $this = shift ;
#     $this->SUPER::import( @_ ) ;
# }

sub saySomethingElse {
    print "Bye World!\n" ;
}
1 ;

[download]
# main
use Foo qw ( saySomethingElse ) ;
saySomethingElse() ;

Thanks
