doh!! *bonks self with a bible*

I only see one error. I think you're refering to the missing closing quote which is not an error.

    Are you sure that the missing close quote is not an error? I don't have Windows to test on, but Linux, missing either a closing ' or " causes the command line to spill onto the next line, which means that you type in your command and nothing happens.
      Yes, it's optional in Windows. I never close my quotes when using perl -e in Windows.
      >perl -e "print 'foo' foo >
        Neat trick, but, mmmm. . . why not? Just to avoid typing the closing quote?
