Are you sure that your "use Games::Dice" is using your Games::Dice, and not the original one (which I presume you installed from CPAN?)

Note that copying and adding functions to the copy isn't the best way of extending a module. I would either write a Games::Dice::Whitewolf which would either has a package Games::Dice::Whitewolf, which uses Games::Dice and (re)exports its functions, and has roll_whitewolf, or adds 'roll_whitewolf' to @Games::Dice::EXPORT_OK and has a Games::Dice::roll_whitewolf.

In either case, if the original Games::Dice gets updated, you don't have to change your code (assuming it doesn't change its API).
