Adding use strict back in and cleaning up the resulting compile errors, I was able to get it to work. 
use warnings;
use strict;

use Win32::PerfLib;

my %counter;
my $server = "";

Win32::PerfLib::GetCounterNames($server, \%counter);

my %r_counter = map { $counter{$_} => $_ } keys %counter;

# retrieve the id for process object
my $process_obj = $r_counter{Process};
# retrieve the id for the process ID counter
my $process_id = $r_counter{'ID Process'};

# create connection to $server
my $perflib = new Win32::PerfLib($server);
my $proc_ref = {};

# get the performance data for the process object
$perflib->GetObjectList($process_obj, $proc_ref);
$perflib->Close();

my $instance_ref = $proc_ref->{Objects}->{$process_obj}->{Instances};
foreach my $p (sort keys %{$instance_ref}) {
    my $counter_ref = $instance_ref->{$p}->{Counters};
    foreach my $i (keys %{$counter_ref}) {
        if($counter_ref->{$i}->{CounterNameTitleIndex} == $process_id)
+ {
            printf( "% 6d %s\n", $counter_ref->{$i}->{Counter},
                    $instance_ref->{$p}->{Name}
                  );
        }
    }
}

Update: Dog and Pony has identified that the code is not the problem. See this node for info.

May the Source be with you.

You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake; well, this could be it, sweetheart.
