You realize this is a perl script right?  Looks like you're trying to
run a perl script as a shell script.  The very first line should be

#!/usr/bin/perl

so when the script executes "/usr/bin/perl" is the interpreter, not the
shell (substitute your actual perl location, e.g. the output of 'which
perl' for your machine).
