Steven, and Mark Clements in another post, thank you very much. Even
the little I knew about how Perl programs actually hurl themselves into
action should have pointed me to the fact that this kind of circular
"use"-ing isn't a good idea. I'll have a go at some refactoring; if
that doesn't work (sounds like intellectual heavy lifting) then I might
resort to using BEGIN blocks or "require".
But one more thing: can you think of a reason why this problem has
suddenly hit? I'm doing a test installation (having written a configure
program to produce a Makefile) on a fresh machine, running FC6 (Perl
5.8.8 but I don't have a perl -v handy), but the code is built on my
development machine, FC5, also Perl 5.8.8, on which it runs perfectly,
circular references notwithstanding. But I'll bash on with the
refactoring anyway.
