in reply to use Error::Simple - can't be found in @INC

Because Error::Simple is defined within Error.pm you just need to do 
use Error;

[download]
and you can be along your merry way e.g 
use Error ':try';

try {
  throw Error::Simple("Holy Smokes!");
} catch Error::Simple with {
  warn "ack - $_[0]";
};

__output__

ack - Holy Smokes! at - line 5.

    Sorry, my fault, I didn't mention that I have:
    use Error ':try';

    [download]
    In my code (didn't put it in the example), and it's still displays the same error.
    I will also add that I ran a search on my perl directories and could find only Error.pm and not Error/Simple.pm

      Have you tried the code above? If it doesn't work I shall be quite surprised, and would also like to see the exact code used and the exact error message produced.
      I will also add that I ran a search on my perl directories and could find only Error.pm and not Error/Simple.pm
      The Error::Simple package is defined in the file Error.pm so there is no Error/Simple.pm - running use Error::Simple will duly fail.

        Hi again!

        Here are my scripts, First SomeError.pm 
        package MyError::SomeError.pm;

use Error::Simple;   # the line that shouts
@ISA = qw(Error::Simple);

1;

        [download]
        Now test.pl:
        #!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Error qw(:try);
use MyError::SomeError;

try {
  throw MyError::SomeError('Throwing some error');
} catch MyError::SomeError with {
  print "Caught it\n";
};

        [download]
        And now the error message I get:
        Can't locate MyErrors/SomeError.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/pe

        May I add that test.pl is placed under my home - ~/Perl/test.pl, and SomeError.pm is placed under ~/Perl/MyError/SomeError.pm.
