Thanks guys for the comments.
About my first problem:
-blue_cowdawg: I can't run perl -c on the script. At least I think I can't. I only have FTP access. I'm not using, strict, warnings or diagnostics.
-ChrisR: Thanks, but that's not it. I'm working on a unix box as needed.
-sgifford: What kinda file is that? It's not a perl program, right?
-The Mad Hatter: Again, I only have FTP access to the server so I can't run perl -c (As much as I know).

About my second problem, I'm pretty new with Perl and I guess I was just feeling comfortable without use strict. I guess now as I'm moving forward I find the need to really use it, so I guess I will read the use strict article and docs and get back to you with my second problem (If needed).

Thanks again, and I hope to get more comments about the perl -c thing.
