Hello good monks. I am trying to manage data associated with perl programs and these subroutines from File::HomeDir would seem to be a good starting place, but they do nothing (I am running StrawberryPerl on Windows 10). They return "undefined".

Both subs rely on my_data which looks like this: 

sub my_data
{
    $IMPLEMENTED_BY->can('my_data')
      ? $IMPLEMENTED_BY->my_data
      : Carp::croak("The my_data method is not implemented on this pla
+tform");
}

I'd expect that if not implemented, the code would croak, which it does not do. Can anyone shed light on this module? Thanks in advance.
