Two ideas:

Are you sure that all _require_d files were present on both systems
(Linux/Mac)?

MacPerl can be picky about line endings. For instance, if I give MacPerl
the program

#!perl
print "Hello, world";

where the line ending is an LF (Unix line ending) and not a CR (Mac OS line
ending), it wont print anything. Are you sure you converted the line
endings when you moved files back and forth?
