Hi monks
I have a bit of a strange problem:
I have written an OOP program (hc_url.pm) that uses a function from another program (ml_lwp_wrapper), called call_httpd_exec. It gets the other program with "require". This works fine. My problem is that I now need to make this program create a new object, that also wants to use the same function from ml_lwp_wrapper (also retrieved with require). However, when I run the program, I get this message: 
Undefined subroutine &hc_url::call_httpd_exec called at /exlibris/meta
+lib/m4_b/dat01/vir_ext/hc_url.pm line 166.

I know that this is a bit complicated, but the basic outcome is that the original program doesn't recognize the function anymore!! Does anyone know why this is the case, and what I can do to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
Guy (mrguy123) Update: What the programs does isn't very important. The main thing is that both programs have this code in them: 
require "ml_lwp_wrapper";
&call_httpd_exec($hash);

Problem is, when the first program creates an instance of the second program 
my $authen = ml_authen->new(\%params);

the first program can't use the function anymore

Update 2: I added 4 snippet programs in the reply section. You can download them and get the same error message (just change the Perl path)
