Hmm... that's fairly old. Did you perhaps get it from CPAN? Probably about

the master site for P4Perl is the Perforce Public Depot, not CPAN.

I think so. Could you try grabbing it from the home page:

http://public.perforce.com/guest/tony_smith/perforce/API/Perl/index.html

and see how you get on?

Thanks,
