Look at the values in array @INC. This is a list of the paths where Perl
expects to find modules included with 'use'. Your .pm files need to be
beneath one of these, but note that the path needs to include the full
module name.
Suppose one of the elements of @INC is
/usr/perl5/5.00503/lib
then your two files should be at
/usr/perl5/5.00503/lib/Getopt/Std.pm
/usr/perl5/5.00503/lib/Digest/MD5.pm
where it will find them correctly.
Oh, and your final syntax error, your line should be
use Digest::MD5 qw(md5);
HTH,
Rob
