I would probably leave the Scriptome tools in bin and not bother putting
them in programs/Scriptome. Then put Scriptome/programs/bin in your path
instead of Scriptome/programs. But I doubt this has anything to do with
your problem.

I think this is your problem.

Ah. You're not a beginner user, I see.

If anyone else has had a similar problem on UNIX/Mac (You can also get a
"command not found" error) then do a "which perl" and put the result
(e.g., /usr/bin/perl) after the #! on the first line of the
Scriptome/ScriptPack programs.

Aha! @INC does NOT contain ~/.cpan/build (and at any rate, it's going to
look for a directory called HTML, not HTML-Tree-3.2.3). Since it's in
.cpan, I'm assuming you used the CPAN module to download the module. If
so, you need to do a get, a make (plus optionally a test), and an
install (i HTML::Tree), not just a get.

Installing will put directories like HTML/Tree/ (and lots of files
inside them) into places like /Library/Perl/5.8.6/Library/Perl and
elsewhere. If you're lucky, these places will be in your @INC, and
Scriptome/ScriptPack will work once you do this.

Let me know if you run into more issues.
