Gossamer Forum: General: Perl Programming: Require not working?

Hi I'm using the following code;

Code:
eval { 
    require $CFG->{admin_root_path} . "/defs/backup_settings_database.txt";  
}; 
if ($@) { 
    print $IN->header(); 
    print "Error including libraries: $@\n"; 
    print "Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly."; 
}

...and defs/backup_settings_database.txt contains;

Code:

 my $url =  ""; 
 my $user = ""; 
 my $pass = ""; 
 my $remote_ftp = "0"; 
 my $cwd_to     = ""; 
 my $dateorname = "date"; 

1;

I get this error when running the script though;

Any ideas why? The eva{} isn't showing any errors, but the variables just don't seem to be importing Frown
