Ok, so the reason for my module code being missing in some places, and not in 
others, was someone had written a startup.pl script, which was appropriately 
being called from the apache config, in which was a statement like this:
	
	eval "require $package";

Naturally there was no matching:

	die 'dramatically '.$@ if $@;

so I blissfully missed all the obvious and helpful error messages.  My only 
excuse for not seeing this before is I've been ill with an infection this 
week with a (low) fever too.  I'll creep away slowly about now...
