While a call to the database_exists_ref() subroutine, from local
UserTags, works when called from pages, it doesn't always work when
called from all other contexts.

Try the following in your UserTag instead:

Replace:

    my $db = database_exists_ref('foo') or die 'No foo for you';

With:

    $Tag->perl({ table => 'foo' });
    my $db = $Db{foo} or die "I ain't gettin' on no plane - foo";

Error messages are not always helpful without seeing the code to
which they relate, but the suggestion above may be helpful to you.
