Good God, how humiliating!
For want of a nail, I suppose. Thanks, Ronald - this has solved my
"problem!" I reinstalled Perl twice trying to fix the prob, but the main
perl path remained "/usr/local/bin/perl" rather than "/usr/bin/perl."
For those of you who dedicated any brainpower to this - my sincere apologies
for wasting your time. Ronald, I owe you a cigar!
Thanks for everyone's help,
Stefan Antonowicz

Are you sure that /usr/bin/perl is the first perl in your path? Maybe you
have two different installations of perl.
`which perl`
