Nope. I had the ; in the code, just didn't put it in the example here.
This is what the real code looks like:
[!
use DBI;
use DBD::mysql;
$connect_string = "DBI:mysql:topconlaser";
$Persistent::dbc = DBI->connect($connect_string, "*****", "*****");
use CGI;
# use cart_support;
!]
[-
use cart_support;
$cgi = new CGI();
$cart_id = $cgi->cookie('cart_id');
$items_deleted = "";
-]

Looks like you missing the semikolon after use. For whatever reason after
the use Perl want's the semikolon, while it isn't necessary for all other
statements. Try
[! use cart_support.pm ; !]

Also is you would do it in a [- -] block, Perl itself compiles modules that
are included via use only once, so there is only a very small overhead for
perl to see if the module has already compiled. Anyway there is no need to
put it into a [- -] block.
