Do this instead:


UserTag get_date Routine <<EOR

require Date::Parse;
requireDate::Manip;
require Date::Format;

sub {

    my($duedate)=@_;


    my $new_date = &ParseDate($duedate);
    my $date_new=&DateCalc($new_date,"+ 1year",\my $err);
    my @format="%Y-%m-%d";
    my $final_date=&UnixDate($date_new,@format);
    return $final_date;
}

EOR

You simply cannot do a runtime require in Safe. Period. Ever. No matter
what the setting of AllowGlobal.

The above makes the require at compile time, which should work assuming
the rest of your code is correct.
