Since you didn't describe or include the error message, it's
difficult to tell.
There are several possibilities:
1) You transferred the script without changing the line
termination. Unix and Windows have different line terminators.
Open the script in 'vi' and check to see if you have a '^M' at
the end of each line. You'll have to get rid of them.
2) How was the script invoked?
"perl scriptname"
Is perl in your path? Is it the right version of perl. Is the
module you require in the right library structure for modules
for the right version of perl?
"scriptname"
Do you have the "#!/path/perl -w" at the top of your script? Is
the path correct for the version of perl you want to run?
