I'm writing an object that has a fairly generic beginning:

package Module::Name;
use strict;

BEGIN {
    use Exporter ();
    use vars qw ($VERSION @ISA @EXPORT @EXPORT_OK %EXPORT_TAGS);
    $VERSION     = 0.01;
    @ISA         = qw (Exporter);
    @EXPORT      = qw (); 
    @EXPORT_OK   = qw (bunch_of_methods_and_constant_vars);
    %EXPORT_TAGS = (
        constants     => [qw(constant_vars)],
    );
}

Nothing earth-shattering here. I run this as the initial test:

# -*- perl -*-

# t/001_load.t - check module loading and create testing directory

use Test::More tests => 2;

BEGIN {
        use_ok(Module::Name qw(:constants));
}

my $object = Module::Name->new();
isa_ok ($object, 'Module::Name');

Again, nothing surprising. This is all generated automatically from ExtUtils::MakeMaker. However, I get this output from the 'make test':

t/001_load....NOK 2#     Failed test (t/001_load.t at line 12)
#     The object isn't a 'Module::Name' it's a 'ARRAY'

Why does it think it's an array?
