Linux Perl Error

Are you running a distro with yum setup?  If you do and have the rpmforge repo, just type

yum install perl-Try-Tiny

FYI Config::Tiny is a different module than what the error is saying.

Repo        : rpmforge
Summary     : minimal try/catch with proper localization of $@
URL         : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Try-Tiny/
License     : Artistic/GPL
Description : This module provides bare bones try/catch statements that are designed to
            : minimize common mistakes with eval blocks, and NOTHING else.
            :
            : This is unlike TryCatch which provides a nice syntax and avoids adding another
            : call stack layer, and supports calling return from the try block to return from
            : the parent subroutine. These extra features come at a cost of a few
            : dependencies, namely Devel::Declare and Scope::Upper which are occasionally
            : problematic, and the additional catch filtering uses Moose type constraints
            : which may not be desirable either.
            :
            : The main focus of this module is to provide simple and reliable error handling
            : for those having a hard time installing TryCatch, but who still want to write
            : correct eval blocks without 5 lines of boilerplate each time.
            :
            : It's designed to work as correctly as possible in light of the various
            : pathological edge cases (see BACKGROUND) and to be compatible with any style of
            : error values (simple strings, references, objects, overloaded objects, etc).

i do have yum setup.

I don't know if this is necessary but i went back into CPAN to install Config::Tiny but i still get an error.

Ok, that seemed to work.  Just running the script without an arguments returns the correct response.  I'll have to open another question to troubleshoot the error i'm getting with args.
