[rrd-users] Perl failing on :dashes

[Chris Fogel]

Actually, my mistake...this still did not fix the issue.

How can I verify that I have a version 1.3 .RRD file?

Also, it is working fine, when run from command line, but not in perl. I 
debug print what perl is running and paste that to the command line and 
it runs without the issue.
