Perl error, line number increases with no change to file

[dtrwbr]

Hi,

I have a script that runs fine on multiple machines and OSs.

However, I have a friend reporting an error I haven't encountered before on a mac (OSX i believe).

First, the error:

Bareword found where operator expected at - line 24, near "/users/jason"
(Missing operator before jason?)

Thing is, "/users/jason" is not in the script, but is passed as an argument, and that's not the full path thats passed either (the full path is to a file on the desktop).

second, if the script is run again with the same args, the line number for the error increases.

Is this a corrupt version of perl or something?

problem solved. The .csv wasn't actually a csv.
