I'm creating a private class structure under Foo, named Foo::Bar. 
package Foo::Bar;

use Carp;
our @ISA = ();

1;

sub new {
  my ($class, %opt) = @_;
  my $self = {};
  bless ($self, $class);
  $self->init(%opt);
  return $self;
}

From here, I want to inherit the constructor and some other stuff in subclass like so: 
package Foo::Bar::Baz;

use strict;
use warnings;
use Carp;

our @ISA = qw( Foo::Bar );

1;

sub init {
  my $self = shift;
  my %opt = @_;
  
  # do the actual init for this specific class
}

Why then, does my test script not work?? 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Foo::Bar::Baz;

my $item = Foo::Bar::Baz->new();

[download]
but instead yield an error: Can't locate object method "new" via package "Foo::Bar::Baz" at ./huh line 107. It's like the @ISA doesn't exist, what's going on?? I must have done this a million times but for some reason it doesn't on this machine... This is perl 5.8.8 on a Gentoo Linux and I'm ashamed to say this simple thing has had me stuck for over an hour now :-|
