I'm doing the same thing, but I get:
qrz> Error   : Username / password required

And I surely have my username and password in the file.

My Internet.pm file is as follows:

# set this to your QRZ user name (you need this for the sh/qrz

# eg
$qrz_uid = 'wa9pie';

##Write the given password below in $ik3qar_pw
#
$ik3qar_url = 'www.ik3qar.it';    # used by show/ik3qar
$ik3qar_pw = 'PUT-PASSWORD-HERE';    # used by show/ik3qar
# NOTE: you must copy $ik3qar_* lines to local/Internet.pm for them to have
# any effect on an already running node.
