nope. I already tried that.

Tried that too. Removing it does work though, but that's not a solution; 
it's not reasonable to tell clients that subclass your library not to 
'use Cwd'.

I'm having a hard time grasping the order in which perl is interpreting 
this. What is desired is that $p->cwd() call Module::cwd() which should 
then forward the call to Cwd::cwd(). But no matter how I rearrange 
things I can't coax the behavior I want.

I'm missing something simple here; I know it...

>>>package main;
>>>MyModule->new;
