Jason,


For some reason swishspider is not recognized as a perlscript
and is being interpreted by the shell, this msg is the a symptom of that:
use: Command not found.

You need to fix the first line to (probably)
#!/usr/bin/perl

(Jose, better put this path in the distribution since 
/local/sparc/bin/perl is not a probable path, /usr/bin/perl is perl's 
default path)

Jason, be aware that you need to install the perl-modules that are in 
the 'use' statements:

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Headers;
use LWP::RobotUA;
use HTTP::Request;
use HTTP::Status;
use HTML::LinkExtor;

For this you need to downloads these files:

http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.48.tar.gz
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/GAAS/HTML-Parser-3.13.tar.gz

Then install the modules:

tar xvzf libwww-perl-5.48.tar.gz
cd libwww-perl-5.48
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

(HTML-Parser-3.13.tar.gz likewise)




Hope this helps...


Bas
