I've been running into some sporadic occassions (on an increasing basis) where a function defined and exported in Package A, and used in Package B, is suddenly getting an error from perl that it's undefined (in Pacakge B). The only workaround is to actually call it with the package name, e.g.,

Package::Function().

The problem seems to come and go, and it seems to happen in parts of the code that I'm NOT working on. But, granted, I am working on either Package A OR Package B when this happens. If I return sometime later and remove the Package:: part of the syntax, it sometimes works again... sometimes not. In fact, some references never seem to go back, and I have to keep the Package::Function() syntax, even though it's properly imported and exported.

Ideas?
