It's trying to do a system call is not available or fully implemented on
Windows 98. Perl was originally developed on Unix systems and still has a
lot of Unix-like dependencies on a good portion of the system-level
interfaces. Take a look at the perldoc on Fcntl for more information.
Windows 2000 even lacks some of these system call interfaces, and you may
need to move onto a Posix system (i.e. one of the many flavors of Unix)
to run this.
