I run a perl-based program called PerlFect. It is a web site search index. I went to reindex it tonight, but I got this error:
File "indexer.pl", line 24
use Fcntl;
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I've used this before, so I know it used to work. I can't find anything about this through Google, so can someone tell me how to fix this? Thanks...

[edit]
I just tried running it on my Karmic 9.10 system and I get the same error. So it doesn't appear to be related to the Ubuntu version... I really need some help here!
