Greetings; I copy/pasted your script into EDIT running in a DOS box on NT 4.0 and it works fine. I am using Active Perl. Do any Perl things work on your system?
Try typing it in from scratch using some vanilla editor like DOS EDIT or notepad (not wordpad!) and see if that makes a diff. You may have fat-fingered some non-text characters into the script somewhere. Good Luck!
