in reply to Re^3: Module not included but present in %INC!
in thread Module not included but present in %INC!

Thanks for your reply Corion
I reduced my pm file and wrote another .pl so as to reproduce the problem. Here they are: The test.pl file, which includes the .pm file: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Dante::Correlation::CorrelationEngine;

my $correlationEngine = Dante::Correlation::CorrelationEngine->new(1);
$correlationEngine->testFunction();

exit;

[download]
The CorrelationEngine.pm file: 
#
#   Dante::Correlation::CorrelationEngine.pm - Implements top-level co
+rrelation logic.
#
##########
use strict;
use warnings;
use Date::Parse;

# There are a bunch of other .pm includes here, but they are modules f
+or the project, not any other perl module

# There are other functions here, not listed, of course

sub testFunction
    {
        print str2time("2011-03-18 02:39:04") . "\n";
        print str2time("1970-01-01 00:00:10") . "\n";
        print str2time("2012-01-05 14:23:09") . "\n";
    }

#   Must return 1 for the class to be compilable.
1;
#   End of Dante::Correlation::CorrelationEngine.pm

[download]
Executing test.pl results in following error: 
./test2.pl
Undefined subroutine &Dante::Correlation::CorrelationEngine::str2time 
+called at Dante/Correlation/CorrelationEngine.pm line 664.

[download]

So if the culprit is CorrelationEngine.pm, how can I make sure it loads Date::Parse?
I'm at my wits end with this now; seems so simple, can't figure out why its not working.
Please help!

    You presumably have the package Dante::Correlation::CorrelationEngine declaration after the use Date::Parse statement — in which case the functions (like str2time) will be exported into main::, not Dante::Correlation::CorrelationEngine.

    When I put the package statement in the appropriate place, and add a constructor, the code works fine for me.

    I modified test.pl and your .pm file. This works for me: 
    $ find .
.
./test.pl
./Dante
./Dante/Correlation
./Dante/Correlation/CorrelationEngine.pm
$ 
$ 
$ cat Dante/Correlation/CorrelationEngine.pm
#
#   Dante::Correlation::CorrelationEngine.pm - Implements top-level co
+rrelation logic.

package Dante::Correlation::CorrelationEngine;

use strict;
use warnings;
use Date::Parse;

# There are a bunch of other .pm includes here, but they are modules f
+or the project, not any other perl module

# There are other functions here, not listed, of course

sub testFunction
    {
        print str2time("2011-03-18 02:39:04") . "\n";
        print str2time("1970-01-01 00:00:10") . "\n";
        print str2time("2012-01-05 14:23:09") . "\n";
    }

#   Must return 1 for the class to be compilable.
1;
#   End of Dante::Correlation::CorrelationEngine.pm
$ 
$ cat ./test.pl
#!/usr/bin/env perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use Dante::Correlation::CorrelationEngine;

Dante::Correlation::CorrelationEngine::testFunction();

      Hello all!

      Yes indeed, the problem was where the package declaration went, and I'd put it after loading strict, warning, all other modules and of course, the Date::Parse module.
      I changed it and whew! Now it works :) Thank you everybody; I completely overlooked the package declaration line; oopsie!
      Thank you for your time and effort everybody, it is much appreciated :)

    Where is the package declaration?
