Didn't this just come up a few days ago?

    506) ~ %cat Foo.pm
    package Not::Foo;
    sub new { "hello" }
    1;

    507) ~ %perl -MFoo -le 'print Foo->new()'
    Can't locate object method "new" via package "Foo" at -e line 1.

Notice the incorrect package name.  I loaded "Foo.pm" but the file has
"package Not::Foo;".

    508) ~ %perl -MFoo -le 'print Not::Foo->new()'
    hello

That message says:

    via package "PhraseHighlight"

but the package is really "SWISH::PhraseHighlight".  Someplace it's
listed (like in your config file) without the SWISH:: part.

    510) ~ %perl -MFoo -le 'print BLA::Foo->new()'
    Can't locate object method "new" via package "BLA::Foo" at -e line 1.

BTW -- how old is your version of perl?  5.6.1 says:

$perl -le 'print Foo->new()'
Can't locate object method "new" via package "Foo" (perhaps you forgot to load "Foo"?) at -e line 1.
