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?
