[EP-tech] Modifying Details.pm/Overwriting module

Hi All,

Could somebody please tell me how to overwrite an existing Perl module in EPrints?

I recently made some changes to Details.pm. I know better than to modify it in-situ, so I took a copy and moved it to my specific EPrint archive.

Original:
eprints3/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/EPrint/Details.pm

New edited version:
eprints3/archives/uolrepo/cfg/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/EPrint/Details.pm

EPrints didn't pick up my changes (even after a server restart) unless I named the edited module something different so I called it:

Detailz.pm (package EPrints::Plugin::Screen::EPrint::Detailz;)

I've made the changes to how the page renders, but my problem now is I have a "Details" and "Details2" tab on the staff view of an EPrint. I want only my new Details.pm module to be brought in. I did follow Adam Field's YouTube video that touched on this, but it wasn't quite the same problem and didn't work.

Thanks,
James
