Hello PerlMonks, I'm trying to go beyond my little sysadmin scripts and do some OO stuff -- as well as using packages instead of cramming everything into a script. So, I just wanted to make a simple class and then use its methods in a script. I read through and followed jreades' fine tutorial and went to do my own. My package lives at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/Hosting/Server.pm So, the first thing my test script does is: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Hosting::Server;
use warnings;

my $myserv = new Server;

[download]
But Perl complains: Can't locate object method "new" via package "Server" (perhaps you forgot to load "Server"?) at host_try.pl line 6. Here is the beginning of Server.pm, including the 'new' sub: 
package Hosting::Server;
use strict;
use Switch;

sub new {
        my $class = shift;
        my $self  = {
                "Name"          => "Not Set",
                "IP"            => "Not Set",
                "OS"            => "Not Set",
                "Location"      => "Not Set"
        };


        return bless $self, $class;
}

Obviously, I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
