I've written the following script to help me find relevant scripts in my rather burgeoning cgi-bin directory. I would like to use the -T switch to run this but I'm getting a software error. How can I get round this?

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser);
use CGI ':standard'; 
use File::Find;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; 

my $dir = '/myroot/public_html/cgi-bin';
my $word = param('word');
$word =~ /(^\w+|\s+$)/;
my $valid = $1;
unless ($valid) {
  print 'no word';
  exit;
}

find(\&find_word, $dir);

sub find_word
{

  if (($File::Find::name =~ /\.pl/) or ($File::Find::name =~ /\.cgi/))
+ {
    open FH, '<', $File::Find::name or die "Can't open $File::Find::na
+me: $!";
    while (my $line = <FH>) {
      chomp;
      if ($line =~ /$valid/) {
        print "$File::Find::name == $line\n\n"
        
      }
    }
  }
}
