I am starting with object oriented Perl and have hit a problem:

I have two files (taken and tweaked from a book on LWP) - see below.

What I am trying to do is inherit from LWP::Simple but I get the error: 

Can't locate object method "new" via package "Browser" at ./EspaceBrow
+ser.pl line 17.

Both files are in the same directory and @INC shows the directory when printed. Why is it failing to inherit new from LWP?

Browser.pm 



package Browser;

use LWP::Simple;
@ISA = "LWP::Simple";

sub notnew {
    my $class = shift;
    my $self  = { };
    return bless $self, $class;
} 

sub name {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->{NAME} = shift if @_;
    return $self->{NAME};
}

sub age {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->{AGE} = shift if @_;
    return $self->{AGE};
}

1;

EspaceBrowser.pl



#! /usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;

use FindBin;
use lib $FindBin::Bin;
use Browser;

foreach my $x ( @INC ) {
    print "$x\n";
}


my $dude = Browser->new();
$dude->name("Jason");
$dude->age(23);
printf "%s is age %d.\n", $dude->name, $dude->age;

Edit: g0n - code tags
