Thanks diotalevi,

I should have noted (which I have now done) that I sent this to http://rt.cpan.org before I posted here. The maintenance cycle for the module seems to be fairly slow, 3.01_05 - a developers release was in December 2005, the last general release was in April 2003. Although demerphq is listed as maintainer the most recent reference in the documentation, to the as yet non-existent 3.02, is from Sam Tregar.

I placed this here so that anyone searching for the problem here would find a simple solution, I spent 2 or 3 hours on the issue, hopefully I can save others the same effort.
