The OP might be on Windows where the case insensitive nature of the
operating system can play nasty tricks on the unsuspecting individual.
Indeed:

D:\Home\asu1> cat ttt.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Strict;
use Warnings;

print "$t\n";

D:\Home\asu1> ttt


So, the OP might have indeed used the wrong capitalization and cut and
pasted the code without ever seeing any indication that anything was
wrong, if he is on Windows.
