Could you be a bit more specific? I am assuming that the following is not your error message:

   Encountered barf in somescript.pl line 12.

I just created a small test case and it works just fine for me. Are you sure that all of your classes are useing the classes that they inherit from? If your BaseClass::Log forgets to use BaseClass (or perhaps misspells it?), then you will get an error message similar to the following:

Can't locate object method "new" via package "BaseClass::Log" (perhaps
+ you forgot to load "BaseClass::Log"?)
at D:/Perl/site/lib/BaseClass/Log.pm line 14.

Admittedly, that error message can be a bit misleading.

Incidentally, the class that is passed along will be the class that is initially called. It will not be the class you are calling.
