Error using HTML::Template

Anneq has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am trying out HTML::Template for the first time and used the script and template given in it's POD.

Template from HTML::Template POD:

<html>
<head>
  <title>Test Template</title>
</head>
<body>
  <p>My Home Directory is <TMPL_VAR NAME=HOME></p>
  <p>My Path is set to <TMPL_VAR NAME=PATH></p>
</body>
</html>
[download]

Accompanying Script:

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use HTML::Template;

# open the html template
my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'test.tmpl');

# fill in some parameters
$template->param(HOME => $ENV{HOME});
$template->param(PATH => $ENV{PATH});

# send the obligatory Content-Type and print the template output
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n", $template->output;
[download]

This resulted in the following error:

Can't locate object method "isa" via package "Cwd" at base.pm line 56.

I'm using the latest ActivePerl core for Windows and publishing to a remote web server that requires me to upload all of the necessary modules and perl scripts to a directory "/cgi-bin". Since it works fine on my local server, my guess is that I am missing a module(s) on the remote web server.

Any help with this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Anne
