O wise monks, I have a script, test.pl, that calls a module test.pm.

In test.pl, I can make calls to Data::Dumper, a handy thing for dumping data structures like arrays of hashes, hashes of arrays, and so on.

But when I make calls to Data::Dumper inside test.pm, I get undefined function errors.

Can someone please help me get back on the path to perl enlightenment?

The script..... 

#test.pl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

use lib 'E:/data/entwicklungsArena/perl/development/modules';
use Misc::Test ('test_function');

my $test = "Test";
print Dumper($test); #works, prints $VAR1='Test';
test_function; #fails, "undefined subroutine &Misc::Test::Dumper....."

And the module..... 

#test.pm
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

package Misc::Test;

use base 'Exporter';
our @EXPORT_OK = ('test_function');

my $test = "test";

sub test_function {
    print Dumper($test);
}

Thanks!
