I am writing a small module for my work & trying out OO Perl at the same time. I think I have everything correct but when I run a script accessing it I get the following:

Can't locate object method "new" via package "Config" at /acies/home/ebodine/test2.pl line 20.

Here are the relevant lines in the script:
use Config; my $file = "/somedir/somefile"; my $file_obj = Config->new($file);
Here is the module:
package Config; use strict; $VERSION = 0.1; $DEBUG = 1; # 1 Prints out debug information. sub new { my ($class) = @_; bless { _file => $_[1], }, $class; }
I don't see what I am doing wrong...any monks see what I am missing?? Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated.
