Lets try the script with the following added:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

The -w is turns on "warn" which will help clue you in to any errors it can find or warn you about. use strict follows the same concept. Its a general "first rule" when developing, or for all code in general. Its a big help.

    Hey one4k4, I tried the warn, with use strict; and got the same error? Could it be cause I'm using activestate?

      Try using 'strict' and 'w' and 'my' variables. 
      my $p = "local, sort of";

      That is a local (lexically-scoped) variable.

      'strict' perl won't let you use a global (package-scoped) variable unless you look like you really mean it. :) 

      $main::p = "global, sort of";
