Perlito5 doesn't support 'use' in the browser out-of-the-box, because
it depends on some filesystem commands:
src5/lib/Perlito5/Grammar/Use.pm:156
if (-f $realfilename) { ... }
src5/lib/Perlito5/Grammar/Use.pm:190
my $source = Perlito5::IO::slurp( $realfilename );
You can workaround by implementing these 2 subroutines in javascript
(maybe using AJAX), or by precompiling your perl source code in the
command line (server side).
If you'd like to try the client-side option, the place to look is
src5/lib/Perlito5/Javascript2/IO.pm.
