Here's a patch for Bit::Vector that seems to add the proper support for inheritable class names. It breaks 4 tests in the test suite, but they seem to be testing for the ability of the module to not support this, so I'm going to ignore these. All functional tests pass.

Again, I'd prefer a real solution from the author, but this may work for you in the mean time.

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
