How about system()?

Isn't 5.8.0 from about 2002?  Maybe that's the problem?

Why are you calling get_hostname() there?

Is this your example that fails?

moseley at bumby:~$ cat t.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use lib '.';
use Bar;

system "echo foo";


moseley at bumby:~$ cat Bar.pm 
package Bar;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::Domain;
get_hostname();

sub get_hostname {
    return Net::Domain::hostfqdn();
}
1;


moseley at bumby:~$ perl t.pl
foo
