The above runs for me just fine (perl 5.8.0/ 10.2.8) from within bbedit.
Since you get the initial statement - e.g. Part of your program are actually
run through the interpreter I assume that you've taken care of the path to
perl and also made sure you got Unix and NOT Mac line breaks. You probably
intend to run this as a cgi script - thus how did you actually run the
script?
/h
