1: Please put <code> tags around the code. This will preserve line breaks and number lines, making it much easier to read.

2: It looks like long lines have been wrapped by adding a + and going to a new line. Perl sees the newline as the end of a comment, and the +====... as a +== operator (which doesn't exist), and some other garbage, and gets very confused. If you got this code from this site, use the "d/l code" link at the bottom of the node, which will give you the code just as the author intended it. (Or at least, as he typed it, which isn't always quite the same thing..)

BTW, I doubt this problem has anything to do with this being on a Mac OS X box.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
