Background
I'm developing a server framework (based on Net::Server). I want the framework extensible enuff so it will load modules at runtime dynamically, ie, there are no config files anywhere explicitly stating what modules are where.

Problem
I'm doing a search with file::find in for any file within a specified path. I can find the modules i'm after and require them, however when i go to access the new method I'm finding out:

Can't locate object method "new" via package 
"api::bess::query::Query" (perhaps you forgot 
to load "api::bess::query::Query"?)

To stave off the obvious, yes there is a new method in the Object being loaded, and I know its loaded as I created a BEGIN block that printed to a logfile. I'm now wondering what might be causing the problem and how i can fix it.

Snippet below: 

sub load_api_modules{
    my $self = shift;

    my @superclass = split(/\//, $File::Find::dir);
    my @class = split(/./, $_);

    if ($File::Find::name =~ /\.pm$/) {
        require "$_";

        my $name = $File::Find::name;
        $name =~ s/\//\:\:/g;    # Convert slashes (/) to ::
        substr($name, -3,3, ''); # Remove the .pm at the end

        $self->{_$superclass[1].$superclass[2]} = new $name;

        print STDERR $File::Find::name."\n";
    }


}
