While I have been using the OOP interface of many modules
(even wrote some simple OOP Modules myself) I have ignored
inheritance up to recently.

After reading the inheritance examples in the perldocs I thought
it would be a nice idea to test my new knowledge on the local
web project I am working on. After restructuring some things
I have finally come up with something like this.
file - Project\Client.pm

package Project::Client;
use strict;

sub new
{
    my ($class, %args) = shift;
    $class = ref ($class) || $class;

    my $self = {};
    
    ...
        
    bless ($self, $class);
    return $self;
}

...

file - Project\Client\Mode.pm

package Project::Client::Mode;
@ISA = ('Project::Client');
use strict;

...

file - Project\Client\Mode\TestMode.pm

package Project::Client::Mode::TestMode;
@ISA = ('Project::Client::Mode');
use strict;

...

Now I expect the following to work. 

file - client.pl

use strict;
use lib '...';

my $mode = Project::Client::Mode::TestMode -> new (...);

...

[download]
But I get the dreaded 'Can't locate object method "new" via package "Project::Client::Mode::TestMode"'
message. What am I doing wrong?
