Fellow Monasterians,

Having a problem with Web app, so I ran a syntax check from the command line:

myserver:/Rapid$ perl -c Categories.pm
Base class package "Validate" is empty.

And the 'use' error. Here's how things are set up (file tree and the opening lines of each module. What am I not seeing?

    Rapid.pm
       |
   Validate.pm
       |
    /Rapid/---+
              |
              |
        Categories.pm

#------------------------
package Rapid;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Validate;

package Validate;

use strict;
use Exporter 'import';
my @EXPORT = qw( val_alpha val_number val_whole val_int 
                 val_alphanum val_input val_text val_email 
                 val_selected val_filename );
