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

I have been working with the WWW::Google::Contacts package. I am using ActivePerl 5.10.0 Build 1003 on my WindowsXP machine. Things were going along just fine. Program was working and I was pulling my Google Contacts into my program.

I was trying to add a splash screen to my Tk program startup and added a couple more packages and updated another couple (Win32API, Win32, Zlib, Stash) that had later versions. Now all of a sudden my program will no longer even compile!

Here is just a little test program to show what is happening.

#!C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe -w

use strict;

use WWW::Google::Contacts;

print "Hello World\n";

This is what I am getting when I attempt to run it: 
Undefined subroutine &MooseX::Types::Base::find_type_constraint called

The thing is, the Moose and MooseX packages haven't changed. I don't have a clue as to where to go, so any thought would be really helpful.

    Are you positive they didn't change? I had a program that was using Moose and MooseX::ChainedAccessors and it broke after I installed a module that upgraded Moose. There are more details here. Perhaps you have a similar problem?

    I get similar errors trying to install the latest MooseX-Types (0.25) with the lastest Moose (1.21) installed.

      uh oh, upgrading Moose or one of its dependencies messed up my own project.
[reply]

        I thought this was going to take hours, but it took just a few minutes! There were some hints that it was related to namespace::clean or namespace::autoclean, so I checked the Moose install output for "clean". I found only the following: 

        [...]

        There were no corresponding installation of those dependencies. Upgrading namespace::clean fixed the installed version of MooseX-Types that got broken, and allowed me to install 0.25 cleanly.
