Hi folks. This is a basic OO Perl question, but nonetheless it currently has me stumped.

I have the following relationship between some classes: 

Foo::TestScript.pm:
    use base qw(Test::Class);
    use Test::More;           # both CPAN modules

myTest.pm:
    use base qw(Foo::TestScript);

So myTest ISA Foo::TestScript and Foo::TestScript is using Test::More. Now, I expect to be able to call methods from Test::More (for example, is() and isnt()) from myTest.pm. But when I do I get an error that &myTest::is() is undefined.

If I "use Test::More" directly from myTest.pm, I can call the methods just fine. However, I would prefer to inherit this functionality via the parent class, TestScript.

So what am I missing about subclassing here? Much thanks.
