The problem is the syntax (see perlintro). Its like writing
$ perl -le " print foo bar " Can't locate object method "foo" via package "bar" (perhaps you forgot + to load "bar"?) at -e line 1. $ perl -e "warn foo bar " Can't locate object method "foo" via package "bar" (perhaps you forgot + to load "bar"?) at -e line 1. $ perl -e "warn bar->foo " Can't locate object method "foo" via package "bar" (perhaps you forgot + to load "bar"?) at -e line 1.

arguments to functions need to be seperated by commas, and strings should generally be quoted

If you had quoted them

$ perl -e "warn 'foo' 'bar' " String found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "'foo' 'bar'" (Missing operator before 'bar'?) syntax error at -e line 1, near "'foo' 'bar'" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. $ perl -Mdiagnostics -e "warn 'foo' 'bar' " String found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "'foo' 'bar'" +(#1) (S syntax) The Perl lexer knows whether to expect a term or an ope +rator. If it sees what it knows to be a term when it was expecting to see + an operator, it gives you this warning. Usually it indicates that an operator or delimiter was omitted, such as a semicolon. (Missing operator before 'bar'?) syntax error at -e line 1, near "'foo' 'bar'" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors (#2) (F) Probably means you had a syntax error. Common reasons include +: A keyword is misspelled. A semicolon is missing. A comma is missing. An opening or closing parenthesis is missing. An opening or closing brace is missing. A closing quote is missing. Often there will be another error message associated with the synt +ax error giving more information. (Sometimes it helps to turn on -w. +) The error message itself often tells you where it was in the line +when it decided to give up. Sometimes the actual error is several toke +ns before this, because Perl is good at understanding random input. Occasionally the line number may be misleading, and once in a blue + moon the only way to figure out what's triggering the error is to call perl -c repeatedly, chopping away half the program each time to se +e if the error went away. Sort of the cybernetic version of 20 ques +tions. Uncaught exception from user code: syntax error at -e line 1, near "'foo' 'bar'" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
And it says A comma is missing.
