But I would like to understand why the require statement in the script is "breaking" the module
My guess (and it is just a guess) is that when the require happens in the script, it is before the require in the module (since require only happens at run-time). The require in the module then is a no-op because the target has already been loaded once. But the scope of the exported FIONREAD() function is in the script now and not the module, so the call to the sub in the module fails.
Does that make sense? You could probably confirm this with Devel::Trace or similar.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
