Assuming the code you showed us isn't mis-typed on your part:

This is almost certainly wrong; use lib is for adding directories to your
library search path, it's not for including library code. You also forgot a
semicolon.

You forgot another semicolon.

Finally, you forgot another semicolon.

Perl has no issue with 'get ($url)', you're very likely seeing a syntax
error caused by some other code, or, as suggested by others, are facing a
problem with the shebang line.
It may be that one machine has an older version of Perl. You should check
with perl -V.
