Hi Peter, I don't know if the following applies to your situation, but I had this exact error message appear on me when I tried to run some perl-scripts I had originally written on a Windows box at work. The solution was to run something like dos2unix or another utility that converts line-endings from the Windows convention to the Unix convention. Maybe you're getting bitten by the same bug...
