I could tell the solution I'm currently working on, and I have a few, but I really want the full breadth of what PM has to offer on this one.

I've made a testing system it works as follows:

In side the Quiz.pm I have problem code such as: 
sub new_question {
  my $self = shift;
  my $question = new NHB::QuizMaster::Custom::NHMCC::Question( @_ );

  push @{ $self->questions }, $question;

  $question;
}

That code is what I'm trying to kill, see the base classes, are in NHB::QuizMaster, but a user can add plugin/custom types that extend those, (are subclasses of them) in NHB::QuizMaster::Custom, the names are assumed to be the same Quiz.pm/Answer.pm/Question.pm. How can I make it so when someone subclasses both Quiz, AND Question, they don't have to statically type a package for the Question.

Can I make a lib hack, that adds the path to the MODULE (not the origin the script ran at). Or is there an entirely better solution to set the calling chain up?

I would like it so if the user says something like new NHB::QuizMaster::Custom::NHMCCD::Quiz that this quiz which Moose extends NHB::QuizMaster::Quiz first looks in its own path NHB::QuizMaster::Custom::NHMCCD, for Question.pm, and then in the path of NHB::QuizMaster...

Thanks in advance
