How to use modules?

My script has a

use POSIX;

in it, which is filling my error log with several hundred error lines:

Constant subroutine
ModPerl
::ROOT
::ModPerl
::PerlRunPrefork
::home_oraweb_perl_badgers_makebadges_2epl::_POSIX_CHILD_MAX redefined
at /opt/lampp/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i686-linux/ModPerl/Uti l.pm
line 69.

What's the proper way to do this?

You don't need to import all those constants.

use POSIX ();
