What version of Perl do you have?  I think that line 564's logical-or only became available in Perl 5.10.

(it's not a regex search, but a ternary conditional-or apparently, because, ya know... Perl can't possibly have only 20 ways of doing something when it could instead have 21 ways... and at the same time get the bonus of re-using common character syntax used for completely different purposes; otherwise what fun would Perl be if it were easy to debug?)

It's only supposed to be invoked if the command to run that script uses a "--debug=<number>" or "-d <number>" option I think. And the pre-commit script does not do that. Unless $FILE is somehow a string that appears to be that option?  Try putting a 'echo $FILE' in the pre-commit script before the "./tools/checkhf.pl $FILE" line and see what it's printing out when you do 'git commit'.  Maybe something weird is going on with the 'git diff-index ... | grep ...' result?
