You probably didn't quote the server name.  I think that you probably
did this:

    my $server = $opt->{server} || www.imagemogul.com;

...instead of this:

    my $server = $opt->{server} || 'www.imagemogul.com';

You should leave the code as-is and just set the SERVER_NAME variable
in your catalog.cfg or variable.txt.  Either that, or make up another
variable name and use that instead.
