I have the following simple AppleScript which calls a perl script I wrote to clean the desktop:
do shell script "/Users/stevied/bin/clean_desktop.pl"
The script works fine when run from the command line, but when executing the script from my AppleScript, the modules I use
aren't found and I get this error:
Can't locate Modern/Perl.pm in @INC (you may need to install the
Modern::Perl module) (@INC contains:

/System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18 .) at
/Users/stevied/bin/clean_desktop.pl line 3. BEGIN failed–compilation
aborted at /Users/stevied/bin/clean_desktop.pl line 3.
I have perlbrew installed. The current shebang line for the perl script is:
#! /usr/bin/env perl
