The feeling will go away after a while, really.

Sounds like it can't find perl, or there's a syntax error.  (Perl is 
installed, right?) Paste the results of the following commands into a mail 
message:

   which perl

   head date_sort

and we can see if there's anything obvious there.  The script may be 
pointing to a non-existant executable.

And also note that, as currently written, the perl script does not have an 
equivalent to the '-x' argument for 'find'.  We might be able to get that 
in there, but probably should worry about just getting the script working 
first.
