This could happen for any number of reasons.  One way is if you delete entries
from %INC, then require() or use() them again.  That's what happens when you do
a quick restart of the server, or when you modify a script that has subroutines
in it.

Another way this could happen is if you've got symlinks or different paths to a
single source file.  Or two different source files that contain the same
subroutines.  Or different subroutines with the same name in the same package. 
Or....


Furthermore, I don't think you really want to structure your Perl code the way
you've got it.  I believe you want:

{
 package Foo;

 bunch of stuff +
 sub blah {
    .....
 }
} # end package Foo


Your Foo package is extending farther than you think it is.  Try fixing this
problem first, then if you still get the errors look at the above
possibilities.
