"What's unique about this Perl script is that it does not rely on any Perl modules ..."

The first three lines of code: 

use 5.004;
use strict;
use warnings;

BUT

$ corelist warnings

Data for 2022-05-27
warnings was first released with perl v5.6.0

So, clearly this will not work with Perl 5.004. If you're going to assert a minimum version, ensure you have tested with that version.

On an unrelated note, please stop messing with colours. I'm pretty sure that you've been pointed to "Writeup Formatting Tips" in the past; if not, or if you didn't read it, please do read it, paying particular attention to the Don't get carried away section (near the end). What it says there about <font> tags applies equally to bgcolor attributes. Putting your <code> content inside a <table> with BGCOLOR=66CCDD is not a clever way to exploit what perhaps you considered a loophole.

If you want to see fancy colours when viewing code, go to your Display Settings and set up appropriate CSS. Don't force your preferences on others.
