So, this is with the evil MacPerl. This is some legacy code, using a legacy module, and "nobody changed anything." The idea is that the users, on their OS 9 desktops, mount a CD and drag it onto this icon, and it does some stuff. Suddenly, it has started failing with the following error: 
#Foo/Foo.pm did not return a true value
File 'executable/perl/file'; Line 1
# BEGIN failed - compilation aborted
File 'executable/perl/file'; Line 1
... propagated
File 'executable/perl/file'; Line 2

I am at a loss. I've never touched MacPerl before. Any ideas or wisdom?

FWIW, here is part of the now-non-working code (junk.plx): 
use Foo::Foo qw(declare_text);
use File::WalkTree;
use strict;

require 'env.pl';
# ... do some stuff
exit;
__END__

And here is part of Foo::Foo: 

package Foo:Foo;
use strict;

# ... a buncha stuff here

sub declare_text {  # noop if this isn't under MacPerl
  if($MacPerl::Version) {
    foreach my $item (@_) {
       &MacPerl::SetFileInfo('R*ch', 'TEXT', $item);
    }
  }
  return;
}

#... more stuff
1;
__END__

I'm kind of concerned about the lack of a shebang in the .plx file, but that could just be a MacPerl weirdness.
