Yes, I mistakenly left out the !.

The above code will work since I have a similiar test script I wrote
to verify that IO::String can be used in this manner.

Are you running your script with -w option?  My example above
declares $html_msg (note I used an underscore in the name) with my(),
hence it will be lexically scoped to whatever block contains the
above code.

Try doing some debugging.  Isolate the call to mhonarc in a well-defined
subroutine so you can test it separately and verify that you are
getting HTML data back.
