That doesn't fix the problem on my Ubuntu (or Darwin): 

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release:    14.04
Codename:    trusty

[download]
Code: 
use if ( $^O !~ /MSWin/ ), 'Proc::Daemon';
{
  print "$INC{'Proc/Daemon.pm'}\n";
}
use if ($^O =~ /MSWin/), 'Win32::Daemon';
 {
   print "$INC{'Win32/Daemon.pm'}\n";
}
exit;

Output: 
Too few arguments to 'use if' (some code returning an empty list in li
+st context?) at /home/vagrant/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.16.3/lib/5.
+16.3/if.pm line 7.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
