in thread Captcha::reCAPTCHA::V2 Not Working

I tried printing the headers before using the module, got the same results, "Internal Server Error" in the browser 
#!/usr/bin/perl 

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";                         
use Captcha::reCAPTCHA::V2;
print "Hello World<br>\n";
exit;

    If you can't talk to your hoster then you need to investigate by yourself. Since use is a comile-time statement any failure in it will happen before your script even tries to run. Instead, go with require and wrap it in an eval block to trap the errors.

    #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
eval { require CGI::Carp; } or print
    "CGI::Carp not loaded: $@.\n";
eval { require Captcha::reCAPTCHA::V2; } or print
    "Captcha::reCAPTCHA::V2 not loaded: $@.\n";
print "End of script\n";

    Also, always check the full entries in the error log, not just the last line.

      Thanks for you kind help.

      The problem was fixed by adding this line:

      use lib '/home/username/perl5/lib/perl5';

      It would appear that the server was setup that any module that I installed is specific for my site only.

        Quite right too :) See local::lib.
