Changing to "require" should help. Remember that "use" is equivalent to
"require" and "import" in a BEGIN block (the BEGIN block is the
important part), so it will only happen once even if the same code is
run over and over.
Then again, something still puzzles me about this situation too, though
I can't put my finger on it. I'm not sure I understand the ins and outs
of what PerlRun does with BEGIN blocks, for instance.
