[Tallahassee-pm] And there was much rejoicing...

... Yay!

Thanks, everyone!  It's working!  :o)

There were still a few stumbling blocks once the package was 
working.  After much frustration I found that I'd forgotten about the 
include path, which 'use lib $FindBin::Bin;' took care of nicely.  By this 
time everything was working locally and I was working on the remote 
host,  and could no longer use a CLI, so no handy errors for debugging.  I 
finally called the people who have custody of the server, and the script 
was running correctly.  That narrowed it down to where PHP was trying to 
execute the script.  Since the backtick operator had been working just fine 
for this before I started abstracting duplicated code, this baffled me for 
a good while.  Turns out that when I moved the execution code from the 
various PHP scripts into a PHP config file, I'd tested it here but since 
the whole thing wasn't working on the server yet, I hadn't tested it there 
and forgot about it until it caused trouble.  And the reason why it worked 
here and not there?  Permissions!  Bah!

Anyway, I've reloaded the page about a dozen times while grinning 
dementedly at the screen, so I'll go home now.

Thanks bunches for pointing me in the needed directions.  :o)
