For the benefit of all intrigued by OP's problem, he replied to my post above, by private message, thusly:

aridzonan says Re Re: Syntax Problem / Padre vs Command Line Made the changes you suggested with the same "Unexpecte token" err. Is there an perl enviromental variable that I need to set? Padre has no problem with this bit of code. However, KDevelop, Eric and Shell return the err.

aridzonan: that doesn't exactly enlighten me on what you did, so perhaps you'll post for the benefit of all of us -- yourself included.
