bfdi533 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am writing a script to use Mail::Webmail::Yahoo and am running a curious anomoly.

Here is my code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use Data::Dumper; use Mail::Webmail::Yahoo; %options = ( username=>'username@yahoo.com', password=>'password' ); #print Dumper(%options); $yahoo = Mail::WebMail::Yahoo->new(%options); @folders = $yahoo->get_folder_list(); @messages = $yahoo->get_mail_messages('Inbox', 'all'); # Write messages to disk here, or do something else.

The error I am getting is:

Can't locate object method "new" via package "Mail::WebMail::Yahoo" (p +erhaps you forgot to load "Mail::WebMail::Yahoo"?) at ./check_yahoo_e +mail.pl line 9.

What is strange here is that when I comment the use line for Mail::Webmail::Yahoo, I get the exact error message. I have never run into this before.

Does anyone have an explanation or tips to get this working?

    You write at one point Mail:Webmail and somewhere else Mail:WebMail. Only one is correct

      Typos suck! That was actually a copy/paste from the CPAN page and I assumed it would work as it was written.

      I see the problem now, thanks for the extra set of eyes.
