Johnathan evidently didn't see the cacheout (as I didn't).
I assume you are using a perl version prior to 5.6.1. I have both 5.005
and 5.6.1 installed. The code works with 5.6.1 but gives the error you
see when using 5.005.
Other than upgrading to 5.6.1 (maybe 5.6.0 works fine too), I'm at a
loss at this point as to what to suggest. Perhaps a hunt through the
perl docs as to what's different between Perl 5.0 and 5.6 would get you
going.
