When you say "use X::Y::Z", perl goes through each entry in @INC and looks for
X/Y/Z.pm.

The package that gets defined because of that is based on the "package" line(s)
in Z.pm, but generally it will define "package X::Y::Z"

If that is a class with a new method, you will need to say X::Y::Z->new, not
Z->new.

I think this is what you were talking about, but I'm not sure.
