Okay, can anyone explain how that works? It actually parses, though the class is completely ignored, provided it is defined somewhere. Here's a quick example:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use CGI;
use LWP;

my CGI $cgi = new CGI();      # Works
my XYZ $cgi = new CGI();      # "No such class XYZ ..."
my LWP $cgi = new CGI();      # Works, strangely enough

Nothing in the docs about that, at least under my.
