Secondary school classes are level or *slightly* up, IIRC. Are they in reality, or is it due to the current lot being in lower birth years than the lot 4 years ago, and hence the secondary school numbers being up now? Rob

Yup, that's right. So to get it to only have the one call, change your
"use" to a require and put it in the BEGIN block.

[snip]
But you are still calling "use", and as I said earlier, that means there
are still 2 BEGIN blocks, so both are being called. Test2 only has the one
BEGIN call because it doesn't try to use.
For example, your code is roughly the same as...
package LTest;
BEGIN {require Test2};
BEGIN {
warn "Test is beginning\n";
}
So you can see there are two BEGIN blocks that are being called.
Or am I talking out of my arse? :-)

Re: Am I going nutts ? - read before answering!
I think the answer is that both the modules where the BEGINS are called
twice have "use" in them. "use" means "BEGIN {require Module}", so BEGIN is
being called once when the module is entered, and once when it is used.
