When you get a lot of error messages, you should look at the first one
and try and solve that first.

It says it is trying to load the Perl IO::String module (via @INC search
path) but can't locate it. You need to install the IO::String module.

How to install Perl modules:
http://perl.about.com/od/perlmodule1/l/aa030500a.htm

IO::String source code:
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/IO-String-1.07.tar.gz

Then try your script again. You may find there are other modules which
need to be installed too.
