I'm guessing you mean svc_acct.import or svc_acct_sm.import, but I don't
know which.

I'm guessing you gave it invalid input.  Perhaps if you posted an detailed
description of your problem, including what you responded to each of the
prompts, I could be of assistance.

That should work fine as well.

These are annoying, but I think they can safely be ignored (they're Perl
warnings).

As Joel posted, this is because you've run the import several times.  You
should probably wipe the database before you import.

If that's inconvenient, wipe the svc_acct, svc_acct_sm, svc_domain and
cust_svc tables.

The mod_perl mini-guide is good, at <http://perl.apache.org/guide>.
