First please let me apologize to all of you Perl experts. I have been tasked with modifying a perl script that was written by someone else several years ago and I know absolutely nothing about Perl. I wouldn't have the first clue of how to take this script and make it the minimum test case either. So, any assistance anyone can provide is greatly appreciated because I am way out of my league here and I know it.

Without posting the entire script, the requirement I was given was to remove the lines of the script that were generating log files and recompile the script as an executable. This actually seemed fairly straightforward to me and I removed the following lines from the script: 

Dump_log => 'j:\\Dumplog.txt',
Input_log => 'j:\\Inputlog.txt',
Output_log => 'j:\\Outputlog.txt');

The problem I am now running into is trying to run the script using perl. I thought it had to do with me removing the three lines, but I cannot even run the original script. When I type in "perl myscript.pl" at the command line, I receive the following error: 

PerlIO::scalar object version 0.05 does not match $PerlIO::scalar::VER
+SION 0.02

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
