I didn't try to see whether you were calling it in a Safe context (e.g. 
[perl][/perl]) or not, but if you do, you'll run into this:

Question:

Runtime requires not allowed by Safe, aka... when I try to use module XYZ, 
I get the error "Safe: require trapped..."

Answer 2:  Call the code via usertag or [calc].

         [tag-that-does-runtime-require]

         -or-

         [calc] q{[tag-that-does-runtime-require]} [/calc]

Answer 3:  Put it in a global usertag.

HTH,

You will think of something funnier than this to add to the fortunes.
