I guess you have a "Foo.pm" in your perl installation. At least I can reproduce this error if I create a Foo.pm with the following contents:

package Foo;
sub whee {}
package Foo::Driver;
sub whee {}
1;
END

Problem is that "use base" has to guess if a package is already loaded or not (I think it does this by checking for the existence of $VERSION in the package). Here this heuristics fails, and Foo.pm (a wrong one) is loaded.

This can be workarounded by using 'use parent -norequire => "Foo"' instead.

See PerlDancer/Dancer#1127 for a similar case.
