Thanks, haukex. I tried this:

eval "use cPanelUserConfig; 1" or warn "Didn't load cPanelUserConfig: $@";

as a replacement for the explicit "use" command:

use cPanelUserConfig;

and it ran fine on my own machine, but failed on the host server because on that machine cPanelUserConfig is required in order that a different module be loaded after cPanelUserConfig is loaded. (They treat user-installed modules differently from modules that are part of their default setup.) It would seem that the "eval" command isn't actually loading the cPanelUserConfig module on the host server. Only the explicit "use" statement seems to work there.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
