Thanks and ++ to everyone who responded; there were a lot of posts and I won't be replying individually.

I tried variations on some of the fake module suggestions. After faking multiple modules, I finally got rid of the "Can't locate SomeMod.pm in @INC ..." messages; however, I then started getting messages like "Can't use bareword ("syntactic_sugar") ...".

There were a lot of interesting takes on that general principle; and even a movie (thanks Dave). I'll keep these in mind: they may be useful at some later time but, unfortunately, not at the present.

It looks like disaster recovery is moving along nicely: hopefully, I'll be back to normal operations early next week.
