perl5.8 problem?

[Shawn Protsman]

That sounds like a reasonable suggestion. Unfortunately I still got an  
error. I added the following two lines to my perl script:

use lib '/System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/ 
Mac';
use Files;

Running the script results in the following:

@naiad ~/workspace/aestTest] ./aestTest --CbcDec
Can't locate loadable object for module Mac::Files in @INC (@INC  
contains: /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/

line 17
Compilation failed in require at ./aestTest line 17, <DATA> line 1.

Here is what is inside the directory:
