Fellow Monasterians,

Having a problem with Web app, so I ran a syntax check from the command line:

myserver:/Rapid$ perl -c Categories.pm
Base class package "Validate" is empty.
[download]

And the 'use' error. Here's how things are set up (file tree and the opening lines of each module. What am I not seeing?

    Rapid.pm
       |
   Validate.pm
       |
    /Rapid/---+
              |
              |
        Categories.pm
