Robin,
I set up the script as you indicated and it functioned correctly for me.
I would agree with Ken Williams' suggestion that your line endings are off.
If you do:
% cat `which App_reaper.pl`
Does the entire script appear on a single line?
If so, then something along the lines of
% sudo perl -pi -e "tr/\r/\n/" /usr/bin/App_reaper.pl
should fix you up.
