my @ISA = qw(Exporter Filedetails Mailsort_scj);

my @EXPORT = qw(update_database
        update_options
        update_tntoptions
        update_inputformat
        create_scj
        update_Foreign_Addresses
        Redirect_Rejects);

These variables can't be lexical; they must be package global variables. Declare them with our or the vars pragma. Alternately, use the base or parent module to inherit from a superclass.

    Fantastic, thanks for the help

    using the base pragma, and removing the require statement worked a treat

    package Mailsort;
use lib ('G:\Perl Live\OO Packages');

require Exporter;

use strict;
use Carp;

use base qw(Mailsort_scj Filedetails);

    however why does base work here where require did not?

    thanks

      RTFM: base (and parent) modify @ISA.
