Hi, I have the same problem as well. Have you managed to solve it?

This solved it for me!
Visual Studio was highlighting the three quote word operators, qw, of the script bright red. This was a hint.
It seems that the whole qw() expression needs to be inside parenthesis like this: (qw()), as explained here: http://blogs.perl.org/users/rurban/2010/09/qw-in-list-context-deprecated.html.

I changed the three instances of qw in the scripts and it works fine now.

Remember to place FAlite.pm in the same directory as assemblathon_stats.py.
Good luck.

FYI, my perl is:

This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 2 (v5.26.2) built for darwin-thread-multi-2level

Thank you for the solution!
