Why not? For all you know, your provider is playing a prank.

Ok that was a joke :D
Why do you expect your code to work? If there is an error (module not installed), you get no output because qx// doesn't capture stderr (``), and if there is no error (module is installed) you get not output because you print nothing. Example 


C:\>perl -MCGI -e 1 |hexdump
00000000;

C:\>perl -MCGIs -e 1 |hexdump
Can't locate CGIs.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/
+lib .).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
