There are 106 elements of data, each one has a stanza about twice as long as this snippet for Hydrogen. The object is to merge a bunch of different data sources (some on paper, some electronically readable) into a database. But that is how this got to be almost 10,000 lines long.

But the first creation of a Generic object, to store the Molar Mass of Hydrogen works. The next object to be created, the Boiling Point of Hydrogen (at a pressure of 1 atmosphere) fails.

As written in the original note, the ::Generic, ::Pressure, ::Temperature and ::PressureTemperature modules have new methods. These methods do very little, mostly they shuffle a little information and call _init() in the base class.

Anytime I find a problem, I redo the make/make install of these modules, so that what this program is loading when I run perldb in emacs is up to date. I don't just rerun the program from the beginning, I kill the perldb session in emacs and start it over again. But I have never run into this before where it looks like I have loaded the module, but at run time it can't find it. It's strange.
