Your module doesn't have an import method, so the modules in @ISA are searched for one. Both CGI and Exporter have an import function, so the one that will be called will be controlled by the order of the classes in @ISA.

If you want Exporter's import, put Exporter early enough in @ISA or add the following to your module: 

{
   no warnings 'once';
   *import = \&Exporter::import;
}

(For what it's worth, I've always thought Exporter's reliance on inheritance is dumb.)
