[WebGUI] preload.perl error

[Ken Johnson]

System Info:
Redhat Enterprise 2.6.9-5
WebGUI 5.5.8
All Perl modules installed, mysql is running, and /data/WebGUI has been
changed to /var/www/WebGUI in all the appropriate files. But when 
the browser is pointed http://10.1.9.10/WebGUI/www/index.pl to it only
gets the message "The requested URL /WebGUI/www/index.pl was not found
on this server."

When i run sbin/perl preload.perl it spews out:

        [root at herb sbin]# perl preload.perl

appears that $parenthesis is a circular reference according one of our
programmers, what would be the best way to correct this?
