Well, here's one hint, though it may be a stretch: on a post at Perlmonks, someone
claimed that
they could not use CGI.pm "due to the server [he] will be using [his program] on."
Randal
Schwartz pointed out that this still wasn't an excuse:

The point of that post is that there *are* ways you can sneak modules into your code.
Give it a
shot and see what happens. If your code is subjected to code review by the support
staff, I can
virtually guarantee that they do not know Perl terribly well. You may want to alter
some of the
comments and POD to disguise the source (if this is allowed under the license).
