Sorry I could not see wood for the trees!

What is happening is that in MyModule you 'use Cwd',
which EXPORTS 'cwd' by default - so now there is a MyModule::cwd
which is a legitimate over-ride of base class's version so...

You call MyModule->new which inherits from Module->new - so far so good.
But then Module::new calls MyModule->cwd which is the imported one.
So fix is: 

package MyModule;
use Module;
use base 'Module';
use Cwd ();    # No imports!

Alternatively Module's new could do 

sub new {
   my $p = shift;
   Module->cwd;  # ignore override by derived class.   
}

But that rather spoils it as a base class.
