Welcome to the monastery !

Please correct your post , using <code> tags, and post your code un-altered, so we can see what it looks like (See Writeup Formatting Tips).

At present, it is mangled, so it is impossible to advice, save that the perl message is most likely correct - you have an extra left bracket "[" somewhere.

One thing you can try is to run the code from a command line, rather than via CGI - at lease till you pass syntax checking.
