Yeah, I see a number of things wrong.
  1. Don't code as root. In fact, don't EVER do anything as root unless you absolutely have to. It's dangerous and stupid.
  2. Don't code in /usr/local/bin. In fact, don't code in a bin directory. Ever. Code in some source directory, preferably in a directory under your home directory. I have a directory called 'perl' that I work in.

Given that you aren't going to fix the above issues before testing this again, I would add use lib qw(/usr/local/bin); above the use MyErrors::SomeError; line. Normally, you run the perl script from the directory it's in. This allows modules that are in that directory (or subdirectories from it) to be auto-included. (This is really nice once you have a proper development environment set up.)
