I thought my difficulty might involve something like this as I haven't
had much reason to use modules, until now.

This does indeed solve my difficulties.  Thanks!

Perhaps example code using eval could be incorporated into the POD
documentation?  Presumably someone that does enough of this stuff, probably
already knows that they should use eval, but for folks like me that are
looking at the docs for example code just to get something working,
would appreciate it. :)
