Then this seems to be the wrong mailing list. For OS X stuff go to:

The error means Clock.pm did not return a true value. Modules have
to return a true value. This is usually done by writing:
1;
as your last line of code.
Anyway you should read the "perlmod" documentation again:
perldoc perlmod
or if using Classic MacPerl look for
"Go"->"Advanced Topics"->"Modules"
in Shuck's menu.
