... it still doesn't work.

And "it doesn't work" is still not a sufficient description of the problem. Again, how does it fail; what specific error messages do you see? (Also: Please let us know the version of Perl you are using.) (Of course, you may simply not have the time or inclination right now to pursue this matter. For some strange reason, you may want to do something with your day off other than spend it in the lab pounding on Gs and Cs. Well, there's no accounting for taste...)
