I've edited your node and formatted the error message and the Perl code by adding <code>...</code> tags around them. Please use these to properly format your posts.

You don't show all of the relevant code, but it seems that you have a syntax error somewhere in VPage.pm on line 24 or before that. I suggest using an editor that can show matching braces to show where you forgot to add a brace or parenthesis.

Finding and fixing syntax errors is a basic skill that is needed for various programming languages. I recommend that you learn it.

If you cannot make any progress in finding the syntax error in VPage.pm, I suggest removing whole subroutines from it until VPage.pm compiles again. Use perl -wc /var/www/cgi-bin/WebApp/libs/libs/MyLib/VPage.pm to test for compilation errors without a web server. The last subroutine you removed is the one containing the syntax error.
