It's not part of BioPerl, but is on CPAN:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Bio-Das/

You don't appear to be following the Bio::Das API.  The following worked for me:

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Bio::Das;

my $das = Bio::Das->new(
   -source => 'http://genome.cse.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/das',
   -dsn    => 'hg18',
);

my $segment  = $das->segment('1:1,100000');
for my $sf ($segment->features) {
   printf("%s(%s):%d-%d(%d)\n", $sf->display_name,
       $sf->primary_tag, $sf->start, $sf->end, $sf->strand);
}
