Is it supposed to be -perl instead? Not too familiar with this crap lol.

Any particular reason that you're wrapping Perl in PHP? I suppose you're either
wanting to integrate it with some much larger PHP system, or you want to add
some gigantic security issues. ;) I'm guessing the former. Anyway, I'd run just
the script itself first, before trying to integrate it with the PHP. Rather than checking
your error logs as you work with it, add this to the top of the script in order to turn
it into a CGI script which will output any error messages to your browser:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

BEGIN {
        if ($debug) {
                print "Content-type: text/html\n\n<html><body><pre>\n";
                open (STDERR, ">&STDOUT");
                select(STDERR); $| = 1;
                select(STDOUT); $| = 1;
        }
}
