Did you change the line that reads "package Vend::UserDB" in your
custom module?

Also, why did you feel the need to create your own UserDB module?
If you post your patches here then either (1) a different method
could be suggested that will so the same thing or (2) the patches
might make it into Interchange 5.3, so you can use the standard module
when you next upgrade.  Well, there's a (3) where we agree that you
need to be using your own module, but that's rare.

You should be aware that there are several core modules which specifically
use Vend::UserDB.  This might cause you some grief in the future,
depending upon the changes you made and the extent to which your module
differs from the original.
