in reply to Loading a module into many packages

I'd start with a minimal test case. Does 'Hello world' run? 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use mymodule;

print "Hello World\n";

Does your module load?

Then, can you call a sub in your module?

Slowly build yourself back up to your main program adding in more code to see what is going on.

I know it sounds simplistic but this has helped me a ton of times.

    See an update. mymodule loads ok. I use it in many other places without problems.

      Is that really all/exactly the code in your module? If this is the case, your module isn't in a package and is just raw perl code. This perl code is getting inserted into your MyClass package which is probably not what you want. I removed the other class and this still generates the error, which leads me to believe this is your problem. 

      {
  package MyClass;
  use test_func;
 
  test_me('in class');
};

      This is a problem of package scoping test_func.pm should look something like this... 

      package test_func;

sub test_me {
  #.....
}

1;

      You can then call the test_me as &test_func::test_me from main

      I would highly recommend taking a look at the package Exporter.

      The perl docs on packages and modules would also be very helpful. perlmod
