I'm thrilled to begin getting this... although some hours are going by...

As stand-alone code, this example produces the expected output. As a module (built with the h2xs boilerplate) make test fails with:

Tried to use 'TestOO'. # Error: Can't locate object method "new" via package "UI::Graphical" at /media/jroth/ecmd-dev/TestOO/blib/lib/TestOO.pm line 56.

Any ideas about this? I just pasted this stuff into the 'precompiled methods go here' indicator in the boilerplate.

Is there a reason why the children would inherit 'new' from the superclass in one context and not in another? 

package UI;
use Object::Tiny qw(dummy);
sub hello {print "superclass hello\n"};

package UI::Graphical;
@ISA = 'UI';
sub hello {print "make a window\n";}

my $ui = UI->new;
$ui->hello;
$ui = UI::Graphical->new;
$ui->hello;
1;
