I also forgot to mention that I noted a few other problems, both with
the module (which aren't valid--i.e., adding the unneeded #! shebang
line and not returning 1;), as well as trying to return 'FALSE' for a
return value and several other issues that I don't have time to get
into.

I also recommend you enable warnings, strict and use Carp as well for
better reporting of problems/issues with the code.  Again, if I have
time today, I'll either just write a module or point out some
better/correct ways to use the current one by fixing some functions and
such.  There's not much there, so I'll probably just create one--after
checking CPAN to make sure I am not reinventing a (potentially inferior)
wheel.  Cheers.
