My parent class lives in its own package, imaginatively called "Base". Here is the new call from Base:

sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $self = bless {}, $class;
return $self;
}

In my inheriting class, I call the parent class like this:
use base ("Leads::Export::Base");

My new call in the inheriting class looks like this:
sub new
{
my ( $class, %parameters ) = @_;
my $self = bless( {}, ref( $class ) || $class );
return $self;
}

I'm trying to call a parent method like this:
Leads::Export::Base->write_export_log( $log_vars );
# no warn...no err...just doesn't do it

I've also tried:
$self->write_export_log( $log_vars );
# same here. Warning before the call and after the call AND inside the call. Before and After warns fire, one inside the call is skipped.

Obviously I'm doing something wrong here. I'm a PHP programmer and I've only been writing Perl for a month, so please be gentle (and very thorough).
