should be

As the error message hints, you're missing a brace and two parentheses.

Also, you're using the variables $server, $proc and $prog, but you don't declare them, which is an error (for good reasons) when you're using strict.

Also, you're using eval { ... } around GetOptions, which doesn't throw an exception but returns false if your options don't parse, so just check the return value of GetOptions instead: 

GetOptions( ... ) or usage();
