OK.

Glad I never do that - yeah, right!

To the original poster, Lori: Beware, the perl on your Unix box may be MUCH older than what you download from ActiveState today. Once you get commandline access, issue: 

perl -v

[download]
to get the version number. It may actually make more sense to install an older version on your laptop (or other machine) if you don't have convenieint access to the main machine or an identical test machine.

Though given your situation, you probably should arrange convenient access to a sutiable test environment, complete w/ SQL db and webserver - you're going to need it.
