[Maypole] could 5.6 prevent modules from accessing parent for some reason? (answer)

[Kevin]

Just answering my own question for the sake of the archives.

Turned out I had an error in the has_a statement in my sub-module, and  
when loading it via:

Limitbreak::User->require;

Errors are not shown as they are with use().  Since require is so  
perl-4-ish, I hadn't been familiar with that.  A better suggestion would  
be to use (working from memory here):

Limitbreak::User->require or warn "Unable to load User.pm: $!, $@";

Further complications were also added by Apache::StatINC, since the has_a  
methods die() if their functions are already created.  I hope to get  
around this by wrapping the setup call in an eval to catch errors and  
continue re(compilation).  I've always found StatINC extremely handy for  
testing while developing.

Ciao,
Kevin
