1.  It is Perl or MacPerl or perl, never PERL.

2.  Please install MacPerl 5.2.0r4.

=~ is not the same as = ~.

Use -w, it will tell you when you make a mistake like this.  In this case,
the warning it produces will not be extremely helpful, but it will let you
know something is wrong.

Also, do not print scalars in quotes unless you have to.  It is slower, it
is unncessary, and it is sometimes wrong (though rarely).  Here is a proper
version of your snippet:

#!perl -w
$myEmail = 'dowd%40ndirect.co.uk';
$myEmail =~ s/%40/@/g;
print $myEmail;
