Most probably this perl is a little dated.
Try to run
perl -v
on both and compare the results.
The most likely culprit is the
chomp(my @file = <STDIN>);
try
my @file;
chomp(@file = <STDIN>);
instead.

There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain
I can't find it.
