Esteemed and venerable monks, (hey, groveling never hurt!) I have a problem. I have a number of classes that work wonderfully if I copy and paste: 
package foo;

sub new
{
    ...
}

sub someOtherFunction
{
 ...
}

package bar;

sub new
{
    ...
}

sub someOtherFunction
{
 ...
}

package baz;

sub new
{
   ...
}

sub someOtherFunction
{
 ...
}

But for the life of me, I can't get these classes working in a module; I can only get them working in an application using them directly (i.e. copy and paste into each perl script that needs them). I've tried everything I know, and I'm feeling strangely ignorant. I've tried putting them into a series of .pm files in a hierarchy and using 
use test::foo;
use test::bar;
use test::baz;

Which not only seems terribly wasteful, it doesn't solve the problem. Is it possible to declare and use more than one public class in a module? If so, how on earth does one do it? In other words: How do I set up foo, bar, and baz to be classes in the same namespace??
