 Assuming the script doesn't actully have a syntax error in it(that's
basiclly what the error is telling you) you probably uploaded it in binary
mode instead of ascii mode from a pc...either upllaod it again in ascii
mode of use dos2unix to fix it...

Uploading in binary mode from a dos/windows machine leaves cr's at the end
of each line, but unix only uses lf's for the end of a line...

Note: the config for some ftp clients has a place where you can tell it
how to upload based on extension, adding .pl there should help in the
future so it gueses right
