For now, just assume everything but the last error on or before line 17 is noise (If you could show that code to us it would be helpful). I would try to address that error first. It's very likely the rest will go away. If not, then you have some installation issues that can be addressed doing the following:
  1. Don't use the Perl included with Mac OSX. The system uses it along with modules and libraries your Mac came with.
  2. Install XCode (Can be done through the Mac App Store) to make sure things like gcc (C compiler) are on the machine and up to date.
  3. Keep a separate install of Perl, modules and libraries using either Activstate or Macports (I use and recommend Macports).
    • Once you install your own Perl using Macports you will start your Perl files with it's location. Likely: #!/opt/local/bin/perl
  4. Get yourself a good book/tutorial on Unix (BSD if you can).

I would strongly suggest doing the above regardless the outcome of this particular problem you're having. Good luck!
