Pardon my interuption, but...

The above looks to be a shell error, not a perl error. i.e. wrong
interpreter.

Either add the call to perl on the first line of mrtg_total.pl or execute
from a shell command line using something like:

# cd /usr/local/bin
# perl mrtg_total.pl /FULL_PATH_TO/mrtg.cfg

The attached script you reference creates the .cfg file(s) that would be
used by both mrtg and mrtg_total.pl. Run this script first, then refernece
the created .cfg file(s) as shown above for mrtg_total.pl.
