When you're running perl script.pl you are using the version of Perl from your path. This seems to be fine.
When running ./script.pl you're using the
version in /usr/contrib/bin/perl. Looks like
that's Perl version 4. to confirm this type
/usr/contrib/bin/perl -v at your command
line.
To fix it, find out which version of Perl is on your path by typing which perl and replace the /usr/contrib/bin/perl in your script with the results of that command.
