Partly solved:

I no longer get that initial error.

But I did have to install the Encode package as well to get it to work.

You may want to add that to the package list as well

Instead I'm now getting this error:

DBI connect('user:<host.address>','user',...) failed: Host '10.101.54.112' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts' at .//HLstats.plib line 160.

So I'll have to check with the host

EDIT: Tested on my own locally and it worked, however daemon does not get any information to put out on the website stats page
