I thought it was something to do with Exporter before I posted but my attempts to export the constants didn't work. Here's what I've tried:

Audit::Config.pm: 

package Config;
require Exporter;
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT = qw(HOSTS_FILE HOST_BIN);

use constant HOSTS_FILE => '/home/csssec/audit/css_hosts.txt';

use constant HOST_BIN => '/usr/bin/host';

...

Check::DNSCheck.pm 

package DNSCheck;

use Audit::Config;
use strict;

sub new
{
        my $class = shift;
        my $host = shift;

        my $this =
        {
                host   => $host,
        };
        bless ($this, $class);

}

sub run
{

        my $this = shift;

        my $cmd = HOST_BIN . " $this->{'host'} 2>/dev/null";

        my $r = `$cmd`;
        if ($r !~ /has address/)
        {
                return(0);
        }

        return(1);

}

1;

I still get the same error message: 
Bareword "HOST_BIN" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at Check/DN
+SCheck.pm line 24.
Compilation failed in require at ./audit.pl line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./audit.pl line 6.

I'm sure it's something to do with exporting the constants but as far as I can see, I'm doing it all according to the man page.

Any ideas?
