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...
