[support] Views Handler Help - Please

[Ms. Nancy Wichmann]

I am trying to get a Views (2) handler to work and I don't have enough hair left to continue pulling it out.

In my module file:
/**
 * Implements hook_views_api().
 */
function mymodule_views_api() {
  return array(
    'api' => '2.0',
    'path' => drupal_get_path('module', 'mymodule') /*. '/views'*/,
    );
}

/**
 * Implements hook_views_handlers().
 */
function mymodule_views_handlers() {
  return array('handlers' => array('mymodule_views_handler_field_age_flag'));
}

In mymodule_views.inc (same directory as .module):
/**
 * Implementation of hook_views_data_alter().
 * Add "NEW" flag to nodes that are 30 days or less old.
 */
function mymodule_views_data_alter(&$data) {
  // Make sure field names are unique or they may override
  // standard node fields.
  $data['node']['age_flag'] = array(
    'title' => t('Age flag'),
    'help' => t('Flag to indicate the age of a Node.'),
    'field' => array(
      'handler' => 'mymodule_views_handler_field_age_flag',
      'group' => 'Node',
      'click sortable' => FALSE,
    ),
  );
}

So far, so good. The field does show up as selectable. But it keeps saying that the node > age_flag handler cannot be found".

I have added the file to the module's .info files[] - no help. I have tried placing the handler in the same directory as the module, and both an "includes" and "views" directories. No help.

The handler file itself:
/**
 * class definition.
 */
class mymodule_views_handler_field_age_flag extends views_handler_field {
  /**
   * Render function: return html output
   * Including edit and delete action
   */
  function render($values) {
    // See if the created date is less than 30 days ago.
    $ret = NULL;
    if ($values->created - REQUEST_TIME < 2592000) {
      $ret = 'NEW';
    }

    return $ret;
  }
  
  /**
   * class query.
   */
  function query() {
    // Do nothing, leave query blank, we render the contents
  }
}

What am I doing stupid that makes Views not find this handler? And yes, I am clearing the Views cache and the Drupal caches every time I blink my eyes.
