You need at least version 0.8 of the File::Spec module.
That would be a Perl module.
You can download it from here, unpack and follow instructions to install:

http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/File/File-Spec-0.8.tar.gz

or much easier is to use the CPAN installer:


perl -MCPAN -e "install File::Spec"

Follow the directions and it will fetch and install for you.
