Hello fellow Monks and Monkesses. I am attempting to use a child module of XML::Sablotron with mod_perl. When using it in mod_perl mode, I seem to be breaking DynaLoader, and get the error: Can't locate auto/XML/Sablotron/new.al in @INC (@INC contains: (etc...)) Due to the following code: 
package My::Groovy::Module;

use strict;
use XML::Sablotron;
use vars qw(@ISA, $VERSION);

@ISA = qw(XML::Sablotron);

...

sub new { 
    my $proto = shift;
    my $class = ref($proto) || $proto;

    my $self = $class->SUPER::new();

    ...
}

The error occurs on the line where I call the super-class constructor. Oddly, this code works perfectly when running via normal Perl, but dies with that error when running via mod_perl. I have checked mod_perl's @INC and confirmed that the right directories are there, and have Dumper()ed %INC and seen that XML::Sablotron is indeed loaded. I have tried loading XML::Sablotron in my Apache startup file before my child module gets loaded, I have tried hardcoding the class name in my constructor, and a lot of other things I can't remember, all with the same result. The environment is perl 5.005_03 and mod_perl 1.25, running on FreeBSD. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)
