Re: Every Perl Script Is Failing Compilation

Although I don't have the slightest clue what could have caused this in your case, I am curious as to whether you could harvest and post the 'history' of your shell session.

Perhaps someone could spot a command that could have caused such devastation.

I have run into something relatively similar in the past, which was caused by accidentally removing the 'package' declaration from the top of one of my module files. It didn't do system-wide damage like this though.
