All, I have been stumped by this one for a while, and was hoping you all could help. I have a pair of classes, the second inherits from the first -- like this: 
package Foo::Bar;

use strict;
use Exporter;
use vars qw( @ISA @EXPORT_OK );
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT_OK = qw(&doSomething);

sub new {
  blah blah blah...
}

sub dosomething {
   blah blah blah
}

[download]
package Foo::Bar::Blah;

use strict;
use Foo::Bar qw(doSomething);
use vars qw( @ISA );
@ISA = qw(Foo::Bar);

[download]
Now in (sample) code I have the following: 
use strict;
use Foo::Bar::Blah;

Foo::Bar::Blah::doSomething('xyz');

[download]
I get the following error: 
Use of inherited AUTOLOAD for non-method Foo::Bar::Blah::doSomething()
+ is deprecated at ./tests/testFooBarBlah.pl ...

Can't locate auto/Foo/Bar/Blah/doSomething.al in @INC ...

[download]
This doSomething() function is intended to be able to be called as either a method of an instance or a straight function call. If I call it like: 
Foo::Bar::doSomething('xyz');

[download]
There is no issue reported, and it appears to function properly.

Can anybody shed some light on this?

Note: this is using perl 5.8.2
