When you downloaded the script from the web it was passed through
Privoxy, which was unable to distinguish it from a html file and thus
applied its filters.  If you disable Privoxy and download another copy
you'll find that all of the "PrivoxyWindowOpen" calls are really calls
to "open".  Alternatively, you could just do: 

perl -i.bak -pe 's/PrivoxyWindowOpen/open/g' filename.pl

This will replace all occurances in the file (making a .bak backup in
case something's wrong.)
