You have extra ">" in the code that you've given.

Well, first of all, you seem to be missing SDL.pm from the include paths.
Probably the installation wasn't successful. Another issue is that you are
experimenting using the Mac OS X built in perl program, which is not a good
idea. You should install your own perl VM on a different path and use that for
development.
You may wish to try consultin the #sdl IRC channel on irc.perl.org with
further problems ( irc://irc.perl.org/#sdl ).
