the line by itself is a syntax error. could it actually be something inside 
of a pod like:

=item

$Explanation = < ) );

=cut

that you are not aware of? anything between =item and =cut is ignored by 
Perl.

or something like a here document as:

($Explanation =<<whatever);

hello world

whatever

or something like:

($Explanation = $<);

or

($Explanation = <>);

if you provide more lines above or below this line, we might be able to help 
you figure out what it actually does.
