Specifically, it has the problem that you left the ".pm" on there...
When use()ing modules, you just use the name of the module (e.g. CGI),
rather than the name of the file the code of the module resides in (e.g.
CGI.pm).
dha, noting that that some of the terms, like "name", above may not be
strictly, *strictly* accurate, but should be good enough for this
discussion. </net type=safety>
