I have the following simple AppleScript which calls a perl script I wrote to clean the desktop:

do shell script "/Users/stevied/bin/clean_desktop.pl"

The script works fine when run from the command line, but when executing the script from my AppleScript, the modules I use aren't found and I get this error:

Can't locate Modern/Perl.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Modern::Perl module) (@INC contains: /Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.18 /Network/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.18 /Library/Perl/Updates/5.18.2 /System/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.18 /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18 .) at /Users/stevied/bin/clean_desktop.pl line 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /Users/stevied/bin/clean_desktop.pl line 3.

I have perlbrew installed. The current shebang line for the perl script is:

#! /usr/bin/env perl

  • I added the following line to the script: use lib '/Users/stevied/perl5/lib/perl5'; but now get a very weird error: dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _Perl_xs_handshake Referenced from: /Users/stevied/perl5/lib/perl5/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Mac/SystemDirectory/SystemDirectory.bundle Expected in: flat namespace dyld: Symbol not found: _Perl_xs_handshake Referenced from: /Users/stevied/perl5/lib/perl5/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Mac/SystemDirectory/SystemDirectory.bundle Expected in: flat namespace

    Answers on Ask Different need to be more than just a link. It's okay to include a link, but please summarize or excerpt it in the answer. The idea is to make the answer stand alone.
