I'm not sure that you are. Your code looks OK to me. 

> use P4;
> my $p4 = new P4;
> $user = "<<myP4Username>>";
> $clientname = "<<myP4ClientSpecName>>";
> $p4port = "<<myP4serverHost:port>>";

> $p4->SetPort ( $p4port );
> #$p4->SetPassword( $p4password );
> $p4->Connect() or die( "Failed to connect to Perforce Server" );

Which version of P4Perl are you using? (Look for '$VERSION' in P4.pm)
