Barring a design flaw (like the use of a global variable in the CGI module(s) that should never have been visible in the first place), you're ordinarily OK. And Perl has the ability to require at least a particular version (and we recently had a discussion about how to require exactly a particular version) of a module.
But you can't regard any program as being comprised of just what you wrote. Even if you don't include any modules explicitly, you're still dependent on the language, the way it's been configured and installed, and the rest of the environment. Are you going to guarantee that your program will work in the next version of Perl? You might have faith that it will, but you won't know until you've seen it do so on a variety of systems.
It's not easy to make a non-trivial program that will work in everybody's system.

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).
