I guess I should have made the MooseX::Declare part more obvious ...

Honestly, I guessed it from the issue you were having, but yeah specifying that will help others to help you.

Moose is one module and MooseX::Declare is another one entirely with it's own "unique" programming experience. I personally still don't feel that MooseX::Declare is ready for production. A good number of people use it and seem to not have many issues, however a good number of people find it to be touchy and prone to breakages and has horrendous error messages (all of which are being worked on, but are non-trivial tasks).

I would second duelafn's recommendation and switch back to vanilla Moose, you will find that beyond simply syntactic sugar, you are only missing method param validation which can be accomplished (although somewhat less elegantly) will MooseX::Params::Validate.
