I solved my problem, which was due to my misunderstanding of perl. In case someone comes across this in the future, the perl module Net/Cmd.pm is entirely different from the perl module IPC/Cmd.pm, as one can verify by looking at the code. I had mistakenly assumed that different systems just used different paths to the same module.
So, the fix was to ask (I don't have root access) for perl-IPC-Cmd to be installed.
