I've been working with a perl tcp server and hit a brick wall. I made some trivial tweak which broke it, but when I undid the change it stays broken. Exaspirated I deleted everything and reinstalled but strangely get the same error, which didn't happen before on a fresh install. I even tried installing previous version to no avail.

The error:

Can't locate object method "new" via package "User" (perhaps you forgot to load "User"?) at line 173.

Line 173:

my $user = User->new($this);

I have confirmed that the script says "use User;" and that package User contains method "new". I don't understand what could cause the error to persist despite reinstalling fresh code. Appreciate any guidance in solving this problem. Thank you.
