SPUG: How do I fix myself up?

I'm a Perl neophyte, but things were working OK on my old PC the way it was
set up.  I've move applications to a new PC and want to use the same
procedures I did before.

I installed the newest ActivePerl release (ActivePerl-5.6.0.613.msi..msi)
and the ppmfix for it.  When I tried to execute the command below ...

C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe /c ftpget.pl -g -C -d
"filmworks:/acct/filmworks/BCS/BCS.BP/BCS.TRANS.IN"
"C:/acct/filmworks/BCS/BCS.BP/BCS.TRANS.IN"

... I got an error which I don't remember (something about Net.pm), which
seemed to indicate that I needed to install another module.  I did "ppm
install libnet", 
which seemed to work fine.  I made the mistake of answering Yes to
rebuilding the config, but I took all the defaults, which is what I assume
it used on the initial install.

When I try it again I get the following:
	C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe /c ftpget.pl -g -C -d
"filmworks:/acct/filmworks/BCS/BCS.BP/BCS.TRANS.IN"
"C:/acct/filmworks/BCS/BCS.BP/BCS.TRANS.IN"
	syntax error at C:/Perl/site/lib/Net/Config.pm line 86, near "&gt" 
	Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl/site/lib/Net/FTP.pm line
21.
	BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/site/lib/Net/FTP.pm
line 21.
	Compilation failed in require at C:\VimLocal\bin\ftpget.pl line 29.
	BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\VimLocal\bin\ftpget.pl line
29.
	255 returned
	Hit any key to close this window...

I haven't a clue where to go from here.  Please help.
