What was the error message?
Also show us the output of this:
perl -wne '
$x ||= 0; $x = length if $x < length }
{ print "Lines: $.\n", "Max.len: $x\n"
' filename

Such trial-and-error will get you nowhere.
The -0777 "works" the same as the "local $/", see:
$ perl -MO=Deparse -0777 -e ''
BEGIN { $/ = undef; $\ = undef; }
perlrun says:
-m module executes "use" module "();" before executing
your program.
