Well, typos aside, Peter's solution did not work for me; note that I had been 
using the base pragma all along.  Then I realized that I had the following 
line as part of my module, since the skeleton was written way back when I was 
basically copying out of the Camel:

@ISA = qw(Exporter);

Hmmmmm didn't I feel like such a heel.  I chose to nix all mention of 
Exporter, @EXPORT, @EXPORT_OK etc.  And everything works as it should.

Thanks Peter.

Best,

Nathanael
